Fable, the F# compiler that generates JavaScript you can be proud of!
A SkillsCast for this session is not available.
Fable is an open source compiler that brings all the power of F# to JavaScript: the functional paradigm, static typing with type inference, pattern matching, type providers and a so on. Besides a comprehensive library to handle collections, text, observables and more, which translates to less than 30KB in JS. Fable doesn't pack any runtime with the app and generates very clean JS code in conformance with new ES6 patterns, like modules or iterables, making it compatible with modern JS development tools. Also, Fable is not only for front-end web apps, it integrates with the whole JS ecosystem including server-side node apps, desktop with Github Electron and mobile with Fuse or React Native. In this tutorial you will learn how to use F# in a JS workflow including npm and Webpack, to write an isomorphic web app that communicates with a Suave server in a type-safe manner. We will also explore other platforms and learn how to recycle our GUI code in desktop and mobile apps.
