TypeScript Montréal - Mai 2026

(English follows) Igor Loskutov nous parlera de la librairie Effect.ts. La présentation sera en anglais. Effect.ts est la « standard library manquante » de TypeScript : un type Effect\<Success, Error, Requirements> qui modélise erreurs typées (à la Rust), concurrence, retries, streams, injection de dépendances et validation, de quoi remplacer Zod, Lodash ou RxJS. Composable, ultra type-safe, adoptable progressivement. Alexis Haddad nous présentera un autre sujet qui sera annoncé bientôt. Merci à Zeffy qui nous accueille dans leur locaux et nous offrent nourriture et boissons! Pour donner votre avis sur l’organisation de ce Meetup, rejoignez-nous sur notre Slack. \================= Igor Loskutov will talk about Effect.ts. The talk will be in english.

The BEAM, Your Phone's Undiscovered Superpower

The mobile development world has spent fifteen years arguing about native versus cross-platform while quietly ignoring a more interesting question: what if the runtime itself was the competitive advantage? This talk explores the current state of mobile development: the tradeoffs between Swift/Kotlin, React Native, and Flutter that nobody is fully happy with. It introduces Mob, a framework that brings the BEAM to iOS and Android as a first-class citizen. Along the way we'll discover an unexpected side effect: a connected Erlang node running on a phone turns out to be the most powerful mobile testing and observability tool the ecosystem has never had, and that accidental insight is becoming its own project.

Elixir Montréal 5 à 7

Join us for a beverage and an informal meet-and-greet with Francesco Cesarini. We can talk about Elixir, Erlang, OTP and anything else. This will be more of a social event with no group presentation, but feel free to bring your laptop to show what you've been working on. We'll host at a bar/pub where you can grab a drink and maybe a snack. (Purchase required.) Francesco Cesarini is the founder and technical director of Erlang Solutions Ltd, the professional services company focused on the Erlang ecosystem. He started his career with the inventors of Erlang at Ericsson's computer science laboratory. From there, having worked on the first release of OTP, he has architected, programmed and supported turnkey Erlang based solutions all over the world, from Telecoms, Messaging and Payment Switches to Blockchain. He co-authored 'Erlang Programming' and 'Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP' both published by O'Reilly and lectures at Oxford University. More recently, he became co-host of the BEAM There, Done That podcast.

Thinking Concurrency: Dwelling in Erlang and Elixir

Join us in cooperation with the Toronto Elixir Meetup group. You can attend their hybrid event online or in person through their meetup group, or get the online link by joining here. And don't miss our in person event with Francesco on Friday, March 20 (details coming soon). The functional paradigm has been influencing mainstream languages for decades, making developers more efficient whilst helping reduce maintenance costs. As we are faced with a programming model that needs to scale on multi-core architectures and distributed environments, concurrency becomes critical. In these concurrency models, immutability, a key feature of functional programming paradigm will become even more evident. To quote Simon Peyton Jones, future concurrent languages will be functional; they might not be called functional, but the features will be. At this meetup, we will be discussing why!

Clean architecture VS feature-based architecture How do you choose a backend technology? How to handle the evolution of anemic model to DDD model? Discussing how to prepare for and perform well on technical interviews when job hunting. Monorepos: yay or nay? Pros, cons, tooling, and workflow 20:30 - Recap & closing We regroup again. One person in each group does a short recap of what was discussed, so everyone gets a TL;DR of the different discussions. Then we say goodbye and go home, full of joy and motivation, until the next meetup. See you there! 😃

[EN LIGNE] Yoan Thirion: "Object Calisthenics"

Il s'agit d'un évènement spécial dans lequel Yoan nous parlera des "Objects Calisthenics" 💬 Résumé Object Calisthenics : if... elfe... refactor! Bienvenue dans l’atelier du Père Noël 2.0 ! Pour ce 17ème jour de notre calendrier de l’Avent Coda, on vous propose un défi spécial : refactorer un code logistique elfique qui a mangé trop de spaghettis. Au programme : Découverte de notre calendrier de l’Avent et en quoi c'est un terrain de jeu idéal pour s’entraîner. Object Calisthenics : 9 règles d’or pour muscler votre code (et dire adieu aux if interminables !) Code Kata en pair programming : relever un défi de refactoring sous contraintes, avec un objectif : garder les tests verts tout en rendant le code plus lisible/maintenable. Présentation des résultats : les binômes pourront partager leur version et on pourra comparer les approches. Live coding : refactoring en direct, avec explications et astuces pour éviter les pièges. Conclusion : ce qu’on retient, et comment / quand appliquer ces techniques au quotidien. Pourquoi participer ? Pratiquer le refactoring en conditions réelles (avec des tests qui ne mentent pas !) Découvrir des techniques de clean code applicables dans tous vos projets Prérequis : Un IDE ou un éditeur de code, et l'envie d'aider le père Noël et les elfes ! Langages possibles : java, C# , php , typescript. Liens utiles : Calendrier de l'Avent disponible ici Notre serveur Discord pour rejoindre l'aventure 🤠 A proposal de Yoan Thirion TODO
