The Weird Wonderful Web
The web is really something. It started as a system for linking textual information and evolved into a universal computing platform used for almost all digital work and play. And JavaScript, a tiny scripting language meant to sprinkle interactivity onto web pages, grew into the behemoth we all know (and love, I hope).
But we didn’t get here in a straight line - far from it! This journey was full of detours and missteps, each with some interesting lore. So let’s celebrate the web by sharing some embarrassing stories from its past and letting them teach us a few lessons for its future.

Hi, I'm Filip! I'm a founding engineer and a core maintainer at Wasp, an open-source web framework. I'm also a big fan of the web, compilers, and functional programming.
I believe in learning and using a language to its full potential, regardless of whether I'm talking to a computer or with another human.
When not working on Wasp, I teach Haskell and functional programming at a local university.
