hy was first introduced to me at PyCon 2013 in a lightning talk by @paultag, the language's creator. It was a very fun lightning talk. You can still watch it online here:

I remember that day pretty clearly because in the same lightning talk session, Solomon Hykes introduced the Python community to docker, while still working on dotCloud. This is what I think might have been the earliest public and recorded tech talk on the subject.

This was also the same PyCon that Eben Upton opened with a keynote to discuss the mission of Raspberry Pi, while also announcing that each of the 2,500 attendees would receive a free physical Raspberry Pi at the conference.
It was a pretty darn good year of PyCon; 2013 was apparently a good vintage for open source tech with Python connections.
- tosh 7y agoLove the lightning talk, thanks for the pointer.
- linsomniac 7y agoI also remember it because my thought was "That's amazing!" but also "That's such a toy, nothing useful could come of that". Which is also what I thought about PyPy. Both of which seem to have proven me wrong.

- theli0nheart 7y agoThat was really a PyCon to remember. I was there as well. The lightning talks were amazing that year. :)
