  It was nice to see the panel advocate FORTH and x86 assembly, if only for educational value.

  For an awesome panel like that, it was a pretty mediocre Q&A discussion.

    Well, everybody was pretty civil and evenhanded- for example, prematurely heading off any static/dynamic debate. If you want passion and drama, you also need more people butting heads.

  I liked it overall, but the moderator was really obnoxious. He kept interrupting the panelists to tell lame jokes...

  There is certainly a rise in the complexity of languages plus most software applications now require multiple languages/technologies to accomplish given functionality. In order for programming to be easier, this needs to be simplified, but (if anything) the trend is for technologies to become more complex.
