You’ll recognise Joe’s name from his postings to the group. What you may not know is that Joe is an eminent computer scientist working in distributed systems, and the co-inventor of an influential programming language called Erlang.

Last week, Joe gave the keynote at the annual conference for the Erlang ecosystem on the topic “The Forgotten Ideas in Computer Science”, and included a very nice section about TiddlyWiki. It’s a really fun talk and highly recommended:

Joe has kindly invited me to collaborate on a talk to give together later in the year in London. Hopefully we’ll have more news about that soon.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

I like it when people share their wisdom, as Joe has in this talk.

I thought he waffled quite a lot :-) Reminds me of Californian style 1970's sit-ins against the system. Bit like Project Xanadu--the promise without the realisation.

Just saying how I find it. Probably because I'm not really into that world and know too little.

But he is a very nice man!

Fun and informative!

If that is not recorded and put on the internet... then may Motovun Jack eat you alive!
