Allen Webster

I talk with Andrew Kelley and Ginger Bill about the position of classical languages in the textual programming paradigm.

We talk about what makes a programming system suited to the native computing layer, interfaces for constructing software, visual programming vs visualizations of data, alternative input devices for programming, mapping programs down to the existing C-like tool chains, places to get started with compiler construction, and more.
