- Alan Williams blogged today’s keynote live. Also,
see his comments on Tuesday’s keynote. - Grosso – “The distinction that I’m starting to see is that there no longer seems to be much of a role for a general purpose programmer. The primary skill required of a Java programmer these days seems to be significant expertise in some set of related specifications…. A friend of mine recently started including “Lisp is the red pill” in his e-mail signature. I think I know what he means, now. Or maybe I’m over-reacting to a small number of talks and I should really just get back out there and learn some more.”
