Flow – это язык программирования и платформа, которую мы разрабатываем на протяжении многих лет. Это функциональный язык. В своем выступлении я познакомлю вас с Flow, runtime, UI-библиотекой и покажу некоторые преимущества, которые может дать этот язык. Ключевой момент, что хотя Flow является лишь одним из языков программирования, но образ мышления, который мы применяли в этом языке, применим более широко. Я хочу продемонстрировать, каким образом можно продумать, как можно структурировать ваше приложение, используя некоторые принципы, которые мы используем, поскольку они применимы для многих других платформ и языков программирования.

1. The open source, functional programming platform flow HOW TO COMBINE THE PRINCIPLES OF ALAN KAY, CODE SIMPLICITY & THE ZEN OF PYTHON SECR 2019 – asger@area9.dk – Asger Palm
2. …the aim is to reduce the amount of code needed to make systems by a factor of 100, 1000, 10,000, or more Alan Kay’s STEPS Toward the Reinvention of Programming
3. Max Kanat-Alexander’s Code Simplicity desirability = future value effort of maintenance
4. Guido van Rossum – The Zen of Python There should be one ‒ and preferably only one ‒ obvious way to do it
5. The Zen of Python Code simplicity Reinventing Programming Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never. Although never is often better than *right* now. If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
6. Flow = The Reinvention of Programming + Code Simplicity + The Zen of Python
7. Flow = Small + Simple + Powerful Allows a big team to work together to build maintainable systems with much fewer lines of code compared to other languages
8. Flow = Standard ML + Curly-brace Syntax + Subtyping Functional language with static typing and familiar syntax
9. Flow = Compiler/JIT + Library + Debugger + Profiler VS Code/Sublime/Emacs plugins provides productivity
10. Flow = HTML + iOS + Android + Desktop + Server (Java)
11. Flow = Material + FRP + FForm + Natives + …
12. Flow = ∑ Domain Specific Languages Embedded and external DSLs increase expressivity and compositionality
13. The World’s First Four-Dimensional Adaptive Learning Platform
