Rob Howard
Elm gives us the ability to use types to talk about the shape of our data. It's really tempting to just use simple things like String, Number, etc, but there's a bunch of ways we can tell Elm more about what we intend, and use types as a tool instead of just a constraint.

In this session, you’ll get a grand tour of the sources of developer happiness in Elm, and hopefully be convinced to give this exciting new language a closer look.
