Hello all!
I'm excited to talk about ReasonML, which is a friendly dialect of OCaml, on our next meetup.
In the talk I'll focus on how ML's type system helps us write code that doesn't have edge-cases. As Ruby programmers this idea can help you eliminate ambiguous decision-making from your code and make it more hospitable.
Sherin and Hari will join me for the meetup; all of us are using Reason in our production work. If you'd like to get a feel for the language, we'll be happy to pair with you for a short while after the event. Just make sure you have a working compiler setup in your laptop. Here's the setup instructions - https://reasonml.github.io/docs/en/quickstart-javascript
This is a beginner-level talk in the sense anyone should be able to understand the concepts, but the concepts if practiced well should pay expert-level dividends. So everyone is welcome!
The meetup is on this Saturday, the 28th of July at the Spork Labs office at Domlur. Location and RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/Bangalore-Ruby-Users-Group/events/252626853/

Reason/OCaml is a language in the ML family - it is statically typed and functional. The types here are distinctly different from the type systems we know in Java, C++ and similar languages. ML's type system is in my experience an ally than an impediment in getting things done.

Wow. Is this the first invite that’s a personal note from the speaker? Really appreciate the effort.
