Specialises In
I am originally from Italy where I graduate as Communication Engineer. After living in several countries I settled down in Japan where I currently work for Rakuten, a large Japanese internet company.
I discovered Functional Programming around 4 years ago, thanks to Elm, and since then I became an active member of the Elm community, writing posts and giving talks. I introduced Elm at my company around the same time and now we happily use it for several projects.

Familiarity or Guarantees? Functional Programming for the front-end
20 Mins
Experience Report
Beginner
In the front-end world, we finally can take an important decision: Familiarity or Guarantees?
Do we keep using frameworks that are familiar to JavaScript (bringing with them all JS idiosyncrasies) or do we embrace a world of guarantees where functions are pure, data is immutable, types are correct, and runtime exceptions don’t exist?
In Rakuten, we went the way of guarantees three years ago, choosing Elm.
In this talk, I am going to explain what are the benefits of Elm in the front-end, and what was our experience.
I will showcase examples, best practices, things that we liked, and things that we didn't like.
