Build Glamorous toolkit in C++ LOL. The language matters.
- carapace 4y ago"Liberating the Smalltalk lurking in C and Unix" by Stephen Kell, Strange Loop Conference, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwicN2u6Dro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwicN2u6Dro > This talk introduces liballocs, an infrastructure which exposes the dynamism hiding in the arcane linking and debugging infrastructure of a Unix process, along with a small extension to C toolchains that enables fast dynamic access to data created by statically compiled code. Together they can be said to unleash a "hidden Smalltalk" inside the C and Unix model of programs and processes. Come prepared for a journey that takes your perceptions of the boundaries between dynamic and static languages and turns them on its head.
