Harnessing Declarative Design for Better Framework Development

In this presentation, Zach Daniel addresses the challenges posed by the complexity and messiness of modern applications. He introduces the philosophy of Declarative Design as a means to effectively tame these complexities. The talk covers practical principles that developers can adopt incrementally, along with examples demonstrating how neglecting these principles can lead to problematic, tangled code. Daniel highlights how the Ash Framework incorporates Declarative Design, leading to consistent, flexible, and powerful application structures. He also shares insights into recent features of the framework and teases future developments.
