Newspeak: A Principled Dynamic Language

Orwell much?

[nmarcel]

The language is very interesting.

But this video sucks!

It would be better to capture only the presentation screens.

@nmarcel I find the automatic subtitles very helpful. You don't have to stress about missing the odd word in the lecture - you can limit yourself to what appears as subtitles - maybe sometimes there are errors in the subtitles, but this does not matter.

Yes the recording is bad. Yes we know it. Please accept our sincere apologies. Would you rather we take it down again?

@m3rnst Since you have been doing these for a long time and these defects have been repeatedly pointed out, then please explain why the consistent thread of GoogleTechTalks is low production quality. If your videos have value then doesn't these deserve improving the quality. What is the problem? Money? Technology knowledge and understanding? Staffing? Investment in equipment? Perhaps the speaker refused to cooperate? Please help me to understand the continuing failure?

@murdelabop if you would've looked at it more closely, you'd realize that being able to "shrink" a language has been one motivating factor for the development of Newspeak and thus the name does make sense. And yes, the name comes from Orwells 1984.

[flipsk8ter1080]

@bakkdoor you are very wise.

it's amazing how google talks suck quality!!! get a mic, i'll pay for it seriously

[richardmullins44]

@h4m1dr3z4 but its not bad quality in my opinion. I limit myself to what I see as subtitles - this gives a "second opinion" on what I have heard.

[IceFritzLanger]

It would have been useful to see some of the text wrote on the screen , just as the beginning. May be the author thought it was useless too (like parenthes at beginning )

[adrian20001]

Can't see a thing!

[murdelabop]

Newspeak?

Does its vocabulary and grammar get smaller every year? 

Read George Orwell lately?

Bad name for a programing language.

@murdelabop At the beginning, it says Gilad Bracha - Ministry of Truth. He probably knows the reference.
