Languages to Keep an Eye on
Languages bring a lot beyond syntax, they bring idioms and promote a particular paradigm or even a combination of paradigms. Learning about different languages makes us better designers in languages we work with everyday. That gives us a good incentive to keep an eye on what's out there, what's relatively new and emerging.
In this presentation we will take a look at some relatively new languages, what's special about them, and how we can benefit from them.
