Just met Damian Conway at “Big Tech Day”. Really good talk. Damian wrote many excellent Perl books that I loved, back when I was a perl developer – so was great to meet him in real life and thank him.
He just gave a great talk on dead languages, showing how to programming in Postscript finishing in writting a complete executable programming language in Latin. Great stuff, had everyone laughing throughout.
