Dynamic Languages Strike Back

Uploaded by StanfordUniversity on Sep 26, 2008
May 7, 2008 lecture by Steve Yegge for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE380).
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.

@seddona the adobe paper is "Evolutionary Programming and Gradual Typing in ECMAScript 4" by Lars Hansen.
-
very informative
-
You can learn lots of things by watching videos like this.
-
Summary:
JIT compilation in Virtual Machines will mean that your Dynamic Code can crash faster.
-
...right?
WRONG

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.

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