I'm going to be representing Perl at a GTALUG meeting (unless someone else wants the job :-)* ).
If anyone has any suggestions they would like to make about the points in the notice, please let me know.
The meeting notice follows:
We are about six days away from the **Dynamic Language Smack Down** at the upcoming GTALUG meeting (14th December, 2010 at 7:30pm).
We are going to start things off with a quick five minute introduction to your programming language.
We would like you to describe your languages programming syntax by showing us a pre-made demo of code. This is my example https://gist.github.com/720559.
Then we will have the following panel questions:
* How does your language access functionality from C libraries? * How does your language deal with modularization of common functionality? * How does your language handle scalability issues? * Applications that require many concurrent threads of execution? * How does the language interact with threading? * Does it offer other models for managing concurrent processing? * Applications that require loading large volumes of code? * Parsing and compiling can be expensive; is there a precompiled form? * Applications that process huge volumes of data
* If your dynamic programming language was not available, which of the other dynamic programming language would you recommend? * What is your languages biggest bug, problem, or limitation you are facing today? * How are you going to solve it?
* What's the "sweet spot" for your language? * Where can I find more information about your language? * What kind of community is using and support your language? * What **local** community is using and supporting your language? * What language features are notable and interesting? * What notable applications are using the language?
The address of our meeting is:
Room GB248, Galbraith Building, University of Toronto 35 St George St Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G8 University of Toronto
