Programming in Interesting Times 4.28 http://spkr8.com/t/1132

Description:

For the first time in a very long time, programmers are again confronted by a very basic question: Which programming language should I use? The last few years have seen the emergence of a whole variety of programming languages, everything from Ruby and Scala to a renewed interest in Python and LISP. Why is this happening now? What makes one programming language successful and another a footnote? And what does all this mean to engineers who just want to hit next week's deadline?

I feel a little smarter after this talk. As mainly a front end developer, I don't keep as close of an eye on the back end technologies as I probably should. It was very well presented and for being the last talk of a long day, you were able to keep my interest. You obviously know your stuff and it showed.
