Entry 29, the co-working space at the Canberra Innovation Network Incubator, held a debate this evening on what is the "
World's Greatest Programming Language". It was a little like Big Bang Theory meets pub trivia night. Dr. Lachlan Blackhall, CTO of Reposit Power was the moderator and kept the witty banter flowing.
-
David Peterson, CTO of ImageBrief representing functional programming and delighted the audience with an almost erotic description of the joys of FP.
-
Mike Leonard, Fivium, put the case for Google G.O., which could have just been "Its from Google", but was so much more.
-
Dr Ali Salehi, SensorFront Co-Founder, wrapped Python around us.
- Marcus Dawe, HealthHorizon Co-Founder , kept use sharp with C and C#.
There were some acronyms and a lot of laughs from the metaphors and something about how many monkeys you could wash). This reminded me a little of Dr Richard P. Gabriel and Dr Guy Steele presenting "50 in 50: 50 Programming Languages in 50 Years", with mention of
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid.
The next debate is swinging the dial all the way to 11 on business. I have suggested the topic be "What Color Should your Business Plan Be?".
