Hey, stop watching. The fun begins in about 8 hrs!
The invokedynamic + meta-object protocol stuff by @szegedi is the most exciting stuff at JVM language summit so far.
Everything now makes sense: Rich Hickey is an AI buff, focusing on aural understanding and soundscapes. Of course he creates his own Lisp!
Having a Jamaica Blue Mountain at Philz... yum
All right, arrived at Sun for the JVM Language Summit Day 2
At the #jvmsummit talking languages with lots of cool people
First presentation today starting in about 20 minutes will be by Rich Hickey, Clojure.org, about guess what
Actually a clojure keynote... so more important?
Andres arrived, just found out that I was sitting next to Rich Hickey, Creat0r of Clojure
I you want to get rid of the clojure parenthesis' you have not experienced them enough - by Rich Hickey
Jochen Theodorou now arrived
Getting ready, room is now packed
Go, Rich Hickey on Clojure

"Has OO won?" - Rick #jvmsummit
Asking the question if OO is the end?
"Everyone's excited about languages without semicolons. We've got so many 'great' choices." - Rich Hickey (Clojure) #jvmlang
Wwhat dirves [language] changes? what makes us switch to a new language?" - Rick #jvmsummit
Complexity is ever increasing
'Incidental complexity' - problems part of your tooling or language, not of the problem domain itself
C++ - no standard automatic memory management, no garbage collection. Too much complexity for many people... inherent challenge of C++ as a library.
People moved from C++ to Java because of memory management
Frink is totally fantastic. Really cool - really crazy.
automatic memory management
but: simple? mutable or immutable?
