Jan 18, 2007 : CodeMash conference

Bruce Eckel is giving the lunchtime keynote right now And there is a challenge to get 500 CodeMash blog entries on technorati (blog post aggregrator) before the end of the conference. So here's my contribution to help get one of the coordinators to shave his head.

The first keynote was about Domain-Specific Languages. DSLs make it easier for end-users or business-analysts to read & verify your code, and maybe even right some. Dynamic languages that can support them pretty directly. In the statically-typed world (which I prefer), there are tool factories fro DSLs that are being developed. That means a tool to generate a language, AST tools for it, refactoring support, and content-assist in an editor. Sounds exciting.

Posts on politics & headlights later. I want to pay attention to this keynote
