Talk comments
It is obvious that Matthias knows his stuff, but I was not fully convinced by this talk on events. As pointed out in other reviews, the incremental refactoring was a nice touch, but the Symfony bashing seemed out of place and I did not find it to add much. Unfortunately, the talk did not really make me feel the power that properly implemented events can bring, it could perhaps do with making it a bit more focused. (single responsibility ;-)) I did enjoy the design principles party and the IoC plug.
Not very impressed right after the talk: nice introduction to Go, but could use a bit more structure and spice. However, after giving it some thought, I think the speaker deserves a bit more credit:
- he (subtly) hammered home the very important message that everybody should use the right tool for the job
- he was clear on the limits of Go and of his own experience with the language
Also, the concept of channels is very cool, it really showcases the power of Go, and the speaker's explanation of the concept was great.
Wow, what an inspiring talk, I could not imagine a better keynote. Such a cool and composed speaker, and a great subject! It is evident that a ton of love and care has been put into preparing the talk; really, really well done!
Great talk about what's coming up.
Well structured and balanced workshop that has managed to awaken my interest in interpreters and language internals. I am now planning to learn more about interpreters and would definitely recommend Anthony and Igor as teachers of the subject.
The workshop did take a quite a leap in conceptual difficulty and pace from the point of introducing the concept of the heap, so I found it much harder to follow after that. Letting us experiment a bit longer would perhaps have helped understanding. This is my only point of criticism though, everything else was very well done!
Nice talk with very good demos. Time to teach my collegues :-)
Really fun. Not really a gambler, but there was a lots of other stuff too, so it doesn't matter.
A bit confusing for someone with very limited javascript experience. In overall not bad, but as somebody said before : try to relax more.
Learned a lot from this talk. I will have to ask our system maintainers to start upgrading soon since we're still using 5.3 everywhere. PHP-compatibility looks cool and I already found a few problems in our code.
Excellent talk, important subject! Well researched and very well presented despite the implicit hangover (meaning the speaker did not seem hung over, but most likely was). Has definitely triggered me to actively start exploring other languages.
