Loren Bandiera’s weblog

I watched some the videos available from the Lang.NET Symposium. Lots of good stuff there.

• Miguel de Icaza - Talking about the Mono project. Who knew that people actually sent him death threats over Mono.
• Mike Barnett - This was about Spec# which extends C# and allows you to specify design details in the code. You can specify things like function foo takes a string argument that can never be null. You code will not compile if you don’t meet the criteria. There is a theorem prover that analyzes for all the possibilities. Sure beats the hell out of unit tests.
• Anders Hejlsberg - Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and C# 3.0. Great demo of the technology.
• Jim Hugunin - Talking about IronPython
• Bruce Payette - Discussing the new Windows PowerShell. Huge improvement over cmd.exe
• Dr. James Purbrick and Cory Ondrejka - Talking about SecondLife. This was a really good presentation.
• John Lam - His presentation about Ruby and the CLR bridge he’s been working on. Very good demos.
