Want to ship JavaScript with fewer errors? Want to write it in a language that is self-documenting, easy to debug, and well supported in your favorite editors? Yes you do!

Use modern JS features like async/await, describe your APIs with powerful types, and get your code autocompleting with style. Presented with Pearl Latteier.
