SUMMARY:The Past\, Present and Future of Programming Languages
DESCRIPTION:Programming languages are a halfway house between the metal and
  the mind\, a bridge between the world of circuits and the world of applic
 ations\, the engineered and the social. Programming languages are the medi
 um through which developers codify systems and fragments. In each programm
 ing language is embedded a philosophy (or many) of how to think about code
 \, how to organise thoughts\, how to design. Programming languages also de
 fine skillsets\, ecosystems\, jobs\, loyalties and communities.When we thi
 nk of software and technology we often think in terms of progress and rapi
 d change. Programming languages\, however\, typically move at a far slower
  pace. Mainstream languages are still embracing ideas that are decades old
 . Constructs that developers welcome as new to their language of choice ar
 e often older than the developers themselves. And over all this hangs the 
 question\, what of the future? How will current trends\, from FOSS to LLMs
 \, shape programming languages and their use? In this talk\, we will take 
 a tour of the past\, present and future of programming languages.\nSpeaker
