The Return of 'Write Less, Do More' / Rich Harris
Description of the workshop (before)
SESSION
The Return of 'Write Less, Do More'
We obsess — rightly — over bundle size, performance, code coverage, and anything else we can quantify. But what if I told you that the number one predictor of a project's sustainability is the one thing we're *not* measuring? In this talk, we'll take a look at what the academic literature can tell us about writing maintainable, bug-free code, and see how a new generation of compiler-frameworks like Svelte can apply those lessons to help us build rich, reliable applications.
WORKSHOP
Rich Harris will be doing the Building apps in cheat mode with Svelte workshop.

Must haves for the workshop
Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces. Whereas traditional frameworks like React and Vue do the bulk of their work in the browser, Svelte shifts that work into a compile step that happens when you build your app.
Instead of using techniques like virtual DOM diffing, Svelte writes code that surgically updates the DOM when the state of your app changes.
