A few links following the meeting last night.
In the corner I was in, several lesser known programming languages were
discussed, including
Go - http://golang.org/ (by Rob Pike
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Pike - he has been involved in a lot of
neat stuff, from Inferno to Limbo)
Lua- http://www.lua.org/ (an embeddable scripting language)
Dart - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Dart (Allegedly a language to
replace Javascript, Google will unveil it at a conference next week)
Clojure - http://clojure.org/ (a lisp-like language for the JVM)
Erlang - http://www.erlang.org/ (originally designed by Ericsson for
their telephone system)
Also, these two Linux/Unix commands were mentioned
Paste - http://www.computerhope.com/unix/upaste.htm
Cut - http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ucut.htm
Also, hardware stuff, including
Raspberry Pi - http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (An ARM/Linux box for $25)
We had several other discussions, including email formats, web mail,
working from home, garbage collection in Java and Python, Javascript,
Flash, recycling in Dorset and many more things but I can't think of any
relevant links for them right now.
