Richard Feldman and Srinivas Rao are front-end developers who work with Elm at NoRedInk.
Questions- What are the problems with web development that Elm is solving?
- What is functional reactive programming?
- What is a signal?
- Can you describe the Elm architecture?
- How does the Elm architecture compare to the classic model view controller strategy?
- What’s the future of Elm?

- Erlang with Joe Armstrong“Mutable state is the root of all evil.”
Erlang is a functional, concurrent programming language that was originally designed within Ericsson in the 1980’s. It was built to support distributed, fault-tolerant, non-stop applications suitable for telecommunications infrastructure.
Joe Armstrong is one of the designers of Erlang, and the chief architect of the Open Telecom Platform (OTP), a framework for building Erlang applications.
Questions- Why has Erlang persisted as such a popular tool for communications platforms?
- In the domain of telecom, what were the valuable features of languages like Lisp and Prolog?
- How did Erlang germinate?
- Can you give a high level description for how someone using Erlang should be thinking about concurrency?
- What are the advantages of functional programming languages?
- Why did object oriented programming become so prevalent and so widely used?
- How has the Erlang community changed over time?

These technologies complement the paradigm shift of React and other Facebook technologies.
Nick Schrock is the co-creator of GraphQL and an engineer on product infrastructure at Facebook.
Questions- How does REST manage client server interaction?
- Before GraphQL, how did Facebook deal with typical client-server issues?
- If a developer wants to work with GraphQL, do they need to use Relay as well?
- Could you describe a mutation in Relay?
- Why do Relay and GraphQL work nicely with React?
