First, I very much love the material of the talk, and the idea of Metal. It's fascinating, really makes me think about the future.
However, I also want to rave a bit about his presentation in general! That was very nicely delivered, for many reasons. His commitment to the story, of programming from the perspective in 2035, was excellent and in many cases subtle. His deadpan delivery really added to the humor; the fact that he didn't even smile during any of the moments when the audience was laughing just made it all the more engaging.
Fantastic talk, I totally loved it!

- peedy 13y agoMany people from Europe do that. It does sound cooler.
- robocaptain 13y agoIt sounds so natural that I immediately started thinking I had actually been saying it wrong all these years.

- IgorPartola 13y agoThis is actually how you say it in Russian. Try Google Translate.
- kangax 13y agofwiw, it's the way everyone in Russia pronounces it
- danabramov 13y agoYup. I thought it was part if the joke (that in a few generations, we might pronounce old language names differently).
- Kiro 13y agoHow do you usually pronounce it?
- chinpokomon 13y agoSince JavaScript and Java have almost nothing in common, I think that's a very reasonable pronunciation. The words look similar, but have very different functional meaning.
- j_horvat 13y agoI was lucky enough to hear Gary give this talk in January at CUSEC and it was even better in person. Everyone in the room was clearly hanging off his every word, the actual technical content was pretty insightful and his humour was spot on.
