episode 8

[Jed Wesley-Smith]

haven't got any topics yet, but it is due in a couple of weeks – Wed 12 September.

anyone want to put their hand up to talk?

if no-one does I might just have to pull out "So, what is a Monad anyway?" – and you don't want to hear me talking about that…

cheers,

jed

I could do:

"How to implement a lisp (in scala), in like, 15 minutes"

but it would be reasonably short, so not a replacement for your talk.

I could explain lisp, the mysticism behind it, and how to implement your own using a cool technique I "discovered" (long with, I'm sure, every other person implementing any interpretter) to make it stupidly-easy. And as a bit of a counter to my previous talk, I'll explain why I feel Scala is a far superior choice than C++ for this problem.

"I'll explain why I feel Scala is a far superior choice than C++ for
this problem."

Never thought I'd hear that from you. Awesome!

[Jed Wesley-Smith]

Sounds great! Booked.

cheers,

jed.
