In our latest meeting, familiar faces returned, showing sustained interest since our group's inception. Attendees, experienced in OCaml or eager to learn, dedicated their Sunday afternoon to engage with us. We agreed to meet weekly online to write OCaml together, enhancing our community ties. Discussions also covered potential venues in Bangalore for in-person gatherings. Our focus was on functional programming, specifically OCaml. For a deeper dive into the topics discussed, visit Manas Jayanth's Slides. Join us next time as we continue exploring and building our community through collaboration and coding.

Thank you everyone for the great response to the first ever Reason/OCaml meetup in Bangalore. Here's what we have planned:

The first meetup is aimed at being an introductory one. We have encourages all the speakers to feel free to explain the whys and hows of Reason.

Quickly summarised, talks range from explaining the rationale behind picking up Reason/OCaml for a given set of problems to completely serveless setup of GraphQL and ReasonML. We also plan to discuss how Reason, with it's static types, can help manage large SPA code bases.

Stay tuned!

Hey,

Finally, Bengaluru finally gets it's own Reason/OCaml community. And hopefully, the meetup serves as an excuse to meet, exchange ideas, and hack on all things Reason/OCaml.

Reason Bangalore is an inclusive, beginner friendly and motivated individuals, looking to help each with Reason/OCaml. It is important that we're respectful of each other.

We hope Reason Bangalore provides a great platform to discuss type safety, ecosystem shortcomings, tooling, proposed solutions, FP influenced software practises (UI, reproducible builds, abstractions etc) and all things FP that can help us practise writing robust software. At the same time, we need to be mindful of newcomers and ensures everyone feels welcome :)

Cheers!
