Hi,
### A Gentle Intro to Types by Shrayas Rajagopal
Shrayas started by building on the basics to introduce more advanced
concepts later on.
- Why Types?
- Humans make a lot of errors
- Computers are very good at repeating things
- Types help them to bring it together. Helps reduce the number of
mistakes
At this point during the talk, it struck me that there some similarity
between Shrayas' talk and mine.
- Roadblocks to using YAML
- Human input prone to errors
- Proper validation is key
[clip]
- Using jsonschema to validate YAML thus giving better error checking
and friendlier prompts
But I was not able to make out the relation at that point. Later on,
when thought about it at length, I found that two talks were strikingly
similar! I was able to summarize the differences between the talks as below:
The talk on types was about validating data (using type hints) when it
entered a *function*. The talk on YAML validation was about validating
data (using schema) when it entered a *program*.
Regards,
Vijay
