NOTE: You may be wondering why this week is a rerun. Well, we actually did have a show this week at The Strange Loop and it was awesome! But I made a mistake by not setting my computer to use the microphone interface for the audio and so the sound is just using my MacBook's built-in microphone, which resulted in really terrible audio quality. I'm really sorry about this. I hope you enjoy this rerun of one of the more popular shows that is relevant to the type of conversations you would hear about at The Strange Loop.
Description:
"Tie your hands to free your mind" is a mantra you hear that applies really well to the constraints that you put on yourself by embracing statically typed languages and functional programming. We're going to hear from various people about their respective visions of typed FP in JS.
