Abstract
Fable is an F# to JavaScript compiler powered by Babel, designed to produce readable and standard code compatible with ES2015 standards, like modules, classes or iterables. Streamlines the development with advanced language features like static typing with type inference, exhaustive pattern matching, immutability by default, structural equality, units of measure, tree shaking and more.
This talk will give a brief overview of F# syntax, some glimpse of interaction with JavaScript libraries and will end with a demo of Elmish in action.
We assume no prior knowledge of F#, although some familiarity with basic FP concepts is desired.
