Type systems with ReasonML London organizer Marcel Cutts and Shane Wilson

The Frontside Podcast

"Java has done an excellent job at ruining types for everyone for quite a while—explains Marcel after describing the tech pub scene in London—but it's important to know there's more than one kind of type system." Along with Shane, they outline what's exciting about ReasonML and their experience with new languages and tools around types.
