Lang.NEXT 2012 is a cross-industry conference for programming language designers and implementers on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington. With three days of talks, panels and discussion on leading programming language work from industry and research, Lang.NEXT is the place to learn, share ideas and engage with fellow programming language design experts and enthusiasts. Native, functional, imperative, object oriented, static, dynamic, managed, interpreted... It's a programming language geek fest.

Language Support for Asynchronous ProgrammingAsynchronous programming is what the doctor usually orders for unresponsive client apps and for services with thread-scaling issues. This usually means a bleak departure from the imperative programming constructs we know and love into a spaghetti hell of callbacks and signups. C# and VB are putting an...

Going Deeper with Project Roslyn: Exposing the C# and VB compiler’s code analysisUntil now, the VB and C# compilers have been used as black boxes. You put text in, and you get out a binary file. In our long-lead project, codename "Roslyn," we are changing that dynamic by building an API that exposes our compilers' analysis engines. In this session, we'll...

The next iteration of the ECMAScript standard, expected to be ECMAScript 6, has been making solid progress since the completion of ES5 in 2009. Targeting standardization in 2013, ES6 is on track to bring significant new runtime and syntax features to one of the world's most broadly used programming...

Reverend Bayes, meet Countess Lovelace: Probabilistic Programming for Machine Learning- Andy Gordon
- Day 3
- April 4, 2012 from 11:00AM to 11:40AM
-

We propose a marriage of probabilistic functional programming with Bayesian reasoning. Infer.NET Fun turns the simple succinct syntax of F# into an executable modeling language – you can code up the conditional probability distributions of Bayes' rule using F# array comprehensions with constraints....

John Cook: Why and How People Use RR is a strange, deeply flawed language that nevertheless has an enthusiastic and rapidly growing user base. What about R accounts for its popularity in its niche? What can language designers learn from R's success?

What makes ISO C++11 "feel like a new language"? What things that we know about past C++ do we need to unlearn? Why is C++ designed the way it is – historically, and in C++11? Finally, what is the difference between managed and native languages anyway, and when...
