Gilad Bracha

While attending GOTO Aarhus 2012, the great Gilad Bracha stopped by the venue (he wasn't attending or speaking at the conference. He was in Aarhus to do work with the core DART engineering team, who are based there). Erik Meijer was a track owner for the event, so he was wandering around the halls…

At Lang.NEXT 2012, several conversations happened in the "social room", which was right next to the room where sessions took place. Our dear friend, Erik Meijer, led many interesting conversations, some of which we are fortunate enough to have caught on camera for C9. Here, Erik interviews…

It's always a pleasure to get the chance to chat with Gilad Bracha. So, whenever we can, we do. We've had Gilad on C9 quite a few times over the years and the conversations are always enlightening and educational. Recently, Gilad joined Google and is now working on the Dart…

A group of us gathered after a long day of language sessions at ELC 2010 and a conversation just happened. Sure, we talked about doing this before the camera started rolling, but I pressed record only when the time was right—when EROS creator and BitC designer Jonathan Shapiro asked…

Recently, I got the chance to spend a few days at the Emerging Languages Camp at OSCON 2010 in Portland, Oregon. It was great to learn about so many new (and not-so-new) approaches to programming language design. The event was set up to ensure the maximum number of sessions in an 8-hour chunk…

Lang.NET Symposium 2009 was held on Microsoft's campus (make sure you watch the talks, which are available for your viewing pleasure). We were of course there and conducted several interviews with some of programming language design's brightest thinkers.Here, language design master  Gilad…

I attended Lang.NET 2008 and, as expected, learned a great deal from some of the industry's finest language and compiler minds. One of the most interesting talks was Gilad Bracha's session on his new programming language, Newspeak. Newspeak is really compelling from a language design perspective…

I recently got the chance to attend JAOO in Aarhus, Denmark. Besids learning a great amount about various approaches to solving hard problems that we all face as programmers (regardless of the stack we spend most of our time developing on), I got to meet so many interesting people  from…
