Thanks for the suggestions from all, but Angus' offer is probably
the most concrete.
Little languages sounds great.
If we could split the evening the following way:
- little languages - overview ( quick and cheerful, embedded,
powerful contructs built in)
- specific examples of little languages. Here I am thinking of
a short tutorial on shell scripting. We have so many people who
are new to Unix/Linux that this would be very useful. What do
some of the common things you see in shell scripts mean?
- favourite things in your favourite scripting language
Angus mentions Guile / Scheme, which doesn't get much as much
"press" as it should.
I've just completed a GPL project in pure Tk/Tcl and think
it's great.
So we have Angus already offering, two more people would
be good (if not, I'm threatening to speak again!).
Please contact me offline and we'll cook this till aldente.
