Dynamically typed programming languages such as Perl, Python and Ruby have been gradually gaining popularity and momentum for the past fifteen years. However, dynamic languages are also arguably the biggest source of controversy in the industry. In this talk, Steve Yegge debunks some of the issues considered central to the debate, and then shares some novel techniques people are using to produce static-quality tools and performance in dynamic languages.

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.
