Great talk. Anybody got a reference to the Adobe paper mentioned at the end? I really think fencing blocks of dynamic code with static contracts is the best of both worlds. I'm guessing it's about ActionScript.
This is a great talk for someone trying to figure out which language to start learning programming with. In 106A at Stanford (all 28 lectures on YouTube) they start with Java, which is pretty intense for a first 9 week course in programming. In the next 9 week course they start on C++. That's nuts! But that's Stanford, where people pay 10s of thousands of dollars in tuition each. So a fast track makes sense.
(cont.) If you are learning on your own, try Ruby on SciTE the text editor in the Ruby download. SciTE works with Ruby and Perl right off the bat with those compilers installed (you install). SciTE works with Python if you install an API.
While all of the languages might have adaptations (modules) for many other languages, as the speaker infers, all roads lead to C++.
On your road to C++ you might try learning Perl, since most C++ methods are in Perl also. And Perl immediately useful.
I Love this Video and also I checked out your Channel. Very interesting! If you need any help getting this Video and your Channel exposed to were it is top in all the search I found this site called tubeviews.(net) that has took my breath away. I'm working on my 4th Channel now, this one I just made. My Videos are getting so many hits now. Check it out and keep in touch.
I think this was a really good talk. Really interesting. There's just one thing I think the speaker could work on; I started noticing every time he said "right?" like after almost every statement he made, and this started really distracting me.
@kodafox: True. Saying "right?" after each sentence is a growing trend, unfortunately. I get distracted by it too. Not worse than "um..." but still. Anyway that annoyance was counter-balanced by the quality of the talk.

@seddona the adobe paper is "Evolutionary Programming and Gradual Typing in ECMAScript 4" by Lars Hansen.

@kodafox You're being too nitpicky. He carefully intermixed "right?"s with "hmmkay?"s for our listening pleasure! :P
Great talk, though =)

... he is talking too much about his own taste, in my opinion.
No wonder he got no job at IBM ;-)
