"Why Should Paul Graham Have All the Fun?" (Perry Metzger's talk at Lisp NYC: video & slides)
- dpapathanasiou 19y agoNo tomatoes were thrown (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42216 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42216), but an entertaining talk nonetheless. Otter is being released under BSD, and source will be made available at OtterLang.org, so it's more of a bazaar effort (in contrast to Graham's Arc cathedral).
- omouse 19y agoToo bad there's no source on the page yet nor do I see an example of an application that uses it unlike News.YC. Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks.
- dpapathanasiou 19y agoHis last slide had a list of links & resources (there's a subversion subdomain for getting the latest source, IIRC), but he also said not everything's been posted yet. It's real, though; he brought a running version on his laptop and demoed some of the basic stuff for us.
