Ur/Web is a new domain-specific language for programming Web applications, based on a new general-purpose language called Ur. Ur features new abstraction and modularity features that make serious code reuse and metaprogramming possible within a strong static type system. Adam will give the lightning-speed pitches for these two kinds of features: components with strong encapsulation of state like database tables, cookies, and subtrees of the DOM; and compile-time type-directed programming, with strong static guarantees of good behavior.
