@Alex I changed the title, thanks.

Great talk and great speaker, thank you Golo.

I do really apologize for not quoting and crediting source material and authors. I was too easy on this and I hope this is not too little and too late.
The writer/javascript stuff was taken from the blog post if Hemingway wrote JavaScript. It appeared also in HackerMonlty after I decided to mention it in my talk ( just saying). Growing complexity examples where taken from FENN BAILEY blog post "Node js a gigant step backwards"
Something also from "is nodejs wrong" by Nicolas Cannasse. And part of the questions to make some fun of javascript typing are takent from the famous "WAT" video ( you can find it on the internet :-) ).
I included this "late credits" in the notes on slideshare.
The quote
You want to use a programming language with the word "script" in it... and "java" in the other side
Is mine.

About the fact that I did not showed the numbers is that I didn't found any that I could be undisputed. The "Hello world" benchmark means nothing to me. My talk had the ambition of giving "points to think about" rather than bashing javascript and its ecosystem. I pointed out some oddities of js just because is the language that node relies on.
It seems I partially failed on giving an architectural and prospective talk, so thanks for the honest comments: if I had the chance to make this or a similar talk in the future I will pay more attention on those aspects.

In my hopinion it was too low-level for the conf ;)

I made a mistake with my previous comment... this talks was pretty amazing...

I found it too less related to node itself

I found it too less related to node itself

I had fun with this talk but it was an attack to js instead of node... it could be a great possibility to deeply understand node and its limitations but it said nothing useful...

It seemed more concentrated on the robot than on node

It could be an interesting use-case but it was a talk with a bad english and without a clear purpose. It seemed as one of the thousands of sponsor-driven (and boring) talks
