Talk proposal: What Records and Tuples could do for you

[jbachhardie]

Talk title

What Records and Tuples could do for you

Abstract

New Javascript just dropped! Babel 7.13.0 adds support for the TC39 Stage 2 proposal Records and Tuples, opening up easy experimentation with this potential future feature. I'll introduce the new syntax and what the proposal tries to achieve, explain how to set up an environment that can run it and have a look at ways to use it to improve common React patterns

I love this!! @queerjs/core what do you all think?

[pixelyunicorn]

@jbachhardie Thanks for submitting a talk for queerjs online, we would really love hear about new and exciting features in javascript! 🙌

Our next meetup is on March 30 - would you still be able to speak then? https://queerjs.com/online-2021-march

Once you confirm, I'll add you to the website! I will also follow up with you about a week before the meetup to schedule a tech check so we can make sure your talk gets streamed smoothly!

[jbachhardie]

@pixelyunicorn That all sounds good. I'm fine with that date and time

[pixelyunicorn]

Thanks for confirming, I added you to the site! 🌈

@pixelyunicorn Just wanted to check I haven't missed any messages from you, since you said you'd be in touch about a tech check but I haven't received anything as far as I can't tell.

[pixelyunicorn]

Hey hi @jbachhardie! You haven't missed anything, and I'm really sorry for the short notice - I just had my second vaccine dose and I was knocked out all week. 🤧

The meetup is still on and we're just 2 days away from the next QueerJS!

We just need about 10-15 minutes of your time to do a quick tech check to make sure that screenshare works, we can see/hear you loud and clear, and to answer any questions you may have about QueerJS Online! We will be conducting screensharing & calls over Skype, and Discord can be used as a backup.

In the notes field, please enter your discord tag & skype. I will be available anytime between 9:30am to 11pm EDT / 3:30pm to 5am(+1) CEST, on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday, up until 1 hour before the meetup. I will also be around on Discord as well!

Also, here's the speaker card we'll be sharing to promote your talk! Feel free to share or repost these wherever you'd like! (Let me know if you prefer a different profile picture to be used or something seems off - I'm happy to fix it!)

[pixelyunicorn]

There was a tiny typo in the speaker card (wrong time BST) - here's an updated version!

[jbachhardie]

@pixelyunicorn Sorry for not having time to look into this until now, work's pretty full-on, but I can't seem to add anything in that calendly link. I have checked that I can call and share screen on Skype on my end but I'm happy to jump on anytime to run over it with you as well

[pixelyunicorn]

@jbachhardie it's all good, i just need you to join the discord community if you haven't yet (https://discord.gg/queerjs) and share your skype username with me so i can add you!
