What Ano didn't want to say
-
Not Synced
is that programming languages are my
substitute girlfriend. [laughter]
-
Not Synced
It's easier to get a relationship with a
programming language than a, you know
-
Not Synced
But you have to take her kind of dating
course.
-
Not Synced
Alright! Since I'm going to maybe insult
some people, you know, maybe I step on
-
Not Synced
some toes, I just want to say kind of, you
know, this is just my personal opinion
-
Not Synced
Also, I want you to think about this and
then make your own decisions.
-
Not Synced
All I want to do is make you think,
and ultimately you decide for yourself.
-
Not Synced
Alright! Of course, you expect a talk
where I'm going to go and scream and
-
Not Synced
curse and talk about how HR and Scrum
are cancer that needs to be eliminated
-
Not Synced
from this industry, right? That's what you
all signed up for, you all kind of have
-
Not Synced
your beers, your snacks ready. Um,
I have to say this talk is not going to be
-
Not Synced
like that. And what I want to do is I want
to take you back to a little bit of some
-
Not Synced
recent history. And in 2013 I left
Microsoft. This was when Vollmer was
-
Not Synced
kind of in charge; now he's doing some
basketball team.
-
Not Synced
Think that's way better for him.
[laughter]
-
Not Synced
But, you know, I left Microsoft with the
goal to make the world asynchronous
-
Not Synced
and reactive. So I founded this small
company, Applied Duality, that was trying
-
Not Synced
to do that. And then, in June, one of the
first customers I had was Facebook where
-
Not Synced
I worked with them on a language called
Hack. Hack is a version of PHP that looks
-
Not Synced
like PHP but under the covers it's really
OCaml.
