Declarative vs. Imperative: My Hypothesis on Code Complexity
By: Zack DeRose

--- Abstract ---
On the face of things, writing a front-end application (especially when all requisite APIs are already provided) seems like it would be a fairly easy thing to do. Slap together some html mark-up, knock out some Javascript for interacting with your APIs, and script out dynamic user interfaces, and we should be good to go.

So why is it that front-end development (particularly for larger projects and organizations) gets so difficult?

In this talk, I’ll be presenting a hypothesis of mine of how imperative patterns - while easy - tend to lead towards more complex code. We’ll also introduce reactive programming as a tool to fight against “complexity creep”.
