It was hectic, a bit chaotic, there's a lot of intelligible questions and discussion. I spoke super fast and still ran out of time. To be honest, it's not a great talk to watch as a recording.
But still, if you weren't there, you missed out. There was a great vibe in the room, we had good fun. My talk on "Four Fascinating Programming Languages You've Probably Never Heard Of":
For a while now I've been trying to come up with some truly bad programming language ideas (basically combining features from languages I don't like into a behemoth that should never have been born) and here are some of the most horrifying ones I could think of:
More suggestions welcome.
"If you have used OCaml 5 this will feel familiar, except OCaml keeps its effects out of the types, so you find out about an unhandled one at runtime, in production, on a Friday."
"If you have used Haskell this will also feel familiar, except in Haskell you would be assembling a monad transformer stack, lifting each operation through every layer by hand, and explaining to a junior colleague that a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem."

@ekuber I fully agree, but as you know #Rust wasn't designed to prevent as many bugs and vulnerabilities as possible, only some of them, mostly memory safety issues.
That's why I've been trying to make a comprehensive list of problems and how they might be solved or mitigated by a next-generation programming language: https://github.com/gato-lang/gato/blob/main/design/bug-types.md
#ProgrammingLanguages, targets, and platforms
I started as a #Java developer, but for some time now, I have broadened my horizons. Recently, I thought about how early languages were dedicated to a single target and platform, and now they are broadening their focus. In this post, I want to write down my thoughts in the hope that it may be useful to others, probably to my future self.

I wonder if anyone has ever invented a programming language where their primary goal was to make it easy to debug?
What features would it need to have, in that case?
If you had to choose - just based on the enjoyment of writing the code - what programming language would you choose?
Looking for some inspiration. I’ve heard good things about the Odin programming language.
PLDI keynote: we don’t need LLVM IR; we need LLM IR 🤦♀️
