SAFE Stack: The Pit of Success for Functional Web Programming

This conference talk from Lambda Days 2024 explores the SAFE Stack, a free, open-source functional-first stack for building cloud-ready web applications primarily in F#. Discover how to develop unified client/server applications that leverage F#'s key strengths including type safety, succinctness, productivity, and performance while integrating seamlessly with ASP.NET and React. Learn to quickly create data-driven server-side APIs and implement them in responsive web applications using a combination of .NET and JavaScript libraries. The presentation also demonstrates how to easily deploy SAFE Stack applications to cloud platforms, showcasing a complete functional programming approach that doesn't require compromising with object-oriented frameworks or extensive HTML/CSS expertise.
