React.js Conf - Hackdot

I'm looking forward to see more about Flow because I think it will be a stepping stone in ES6 going mainstream; 2015 will be an exciting year for Javascript :)

Did you mean Flux or Flow? I can see a few things on "Flow" around but nothing that matches very well.

I meant Flow: this talk (http://youtu.be/M8x0bc81smU?t=12m41s) from @scale has the best information about Flow so far.

So far, it sounds like a linter similar to JSHint as long as the codebase is in ES6, with two ways to use it:

- with regular javascript, it is already able to deduce some constraints from the code itself

- with additional type annotations (which is part of ES6, so you don't end up with code that only Flow could use), it can test even more things.
