A bunch of great talks at Strange Loop this year! Two off the top of my head: • "An approach to computing and sustainability inspired from permaculture" by Devine Lu Linvega: [VIDEO] • "The Economics of Programming Languages" by Evan Czaplicki (Strange Loop 2023): [LINK] I've also been loving TodePond's cellular automata videos. Their SPLASH talk was mind-blowing, but it doesn't look like it's out yet. • TodePond playlist: [LINK]
Read original comment ↗Devine had a great talk about the "why" of Uxn at Strange Loop last year: [VIDEO] And there was another talk that used it as an example: [LINK] Both were great. I'm a big fan of 100R's work. Another language of theirs worth checking out is Orca: [LINK]
Read original comment ↗My favourite quote from Devine: "If you stand on the shoulder of giants, it's really hard to steer". [VIDEO] @ after around the 6:00 mark.
Read original comment ↗Similar cross of art, low power/resilient tech, and sailing I saw at strange loop last year. Non-standard tech talk for sure, but fit right in at that conference: [VIDEO]
