Skirting the edge of topicality: Five days left to register for RubyFringe
Pete Forde wrote to say that there are only 5 days left to register for RubyFringe, and currently fewer than 20 tickets left.
Coïncidentally, I have submitted my title and abstract:
Ruby.rewrite(Ruby)
An introduction to writing Ruby that reads, writes, and rewrites Ruby. In an extremely short period of time we will extend the Ruby language to include new conditional expressions, add new forms of evaluation such as call-by-name and call-by-need, and if time permits we’ll define new recursive combinators.
In other words we’ll practice the truest form of constructive criticism: Instead of complaining about missing language features, we’ll implement them.
Luckily for you, the other speakers are people with actual talent and a knack for entertaining people. What are you waiting for? Register!
