It gave some insight into what parts are involved into adding functionality (not extension related) and some background information about the scanner(s), etc. It is a topic for a special crowed I think, but you handled it quite well.
It's probably impossible to make an internals talk "fun" so rating that would be unfair - but the talk was informative and clear, with solid examples. Sebastian was willing to go the extra mile to take us through the process step by step. Whilst I wouldn't recommend the talk to everybody - for those that wanted what it said on the tin, it delivered.
This talk was the most entertaining of all in my opinion. Well balanced yet very in-depth. If you've taken compiler courses, you get the immediate urge to create optimizers and new fun statements (a python-style multiple assignment sprang to mind). If the subject matter is new, there is a good discussion of the compiler's basics at the start and the discussion revolves around a well chosen simple example to demonstrate adding a new feature to the language.
Very technical and very informative. This kind of things are always tough to present to a crowd of mixed levels of knowledge about compilers, but Sebastian did a great job. Thank you for sharing your insight.

Thanks Sebastian, great talk. Awesome to see an example language feature being implemented end-to-end.
A good solid talk. Interesting stuff.

Excellent talk, one of the top talks at the conference imho.
