Elm Town Elm Town 47 - A Cool, Easy Way To Start Learning Haskell
Stöffel talks about Jetpack, a simplified build tool that NoRedInk built to replace webpack, and how it started his journey to learn Haskell and eventually end up on the team behind NoRedInk's next-generation, Haskell-based server-side architecture.
