I'm going to be heading down to London to talk at @[email protected] London on the 13th of Jan!

Should be cool, planning on doing a subset of my *massive* talk on how the #TypeScript compiler works (Code -> AST -> Checking) but slower, in a way that should allow for a lot of Q&A from interested folks
