Hi everyone,
My employer, weka.io[1] is holding a lecture about the D programming language. D is a language designed for system programming, but also to have features one has come to expect from a modern object oriented language. Personally, I am not a huge fan of D. My relationship with C++ is better than most, and I judge other languages in relation to what C++ has to offer to those who managed to overcome its insane complexity. With that said, D is faring much better in passing the "pissing Shachar off" test than any other modern language. For comparison's sake, I could not stand Python, and would only tolerate Java for small projects. I will not mention Javascript for fear of having a heart attack. Anyways, the lecture takes place on Sunday, February 15 at 19:00 in Weka's offices in Tel Aviv. Formal invitation can be seen at http://www.shemesh.biz/files/D%20EVENT%20Invitation.pdf. Please RSVP if you intend to come. Shachar 1 - which is also the web address. Where have the world gone to? When I opened Lingnu, I chose the name partly because it had an available .com. Now we include the top level domain into the actual company's name. So the company's web site is http://weka.io. Not that there is anything of substance in the sole web page that's there...[2] 2 - Criticism over the company's choice of name and web site content should, in no way, be considered as criticism of the actual company. I've been working there for a little under half a year, and have been enjoying pretty much every aspect of it. I love the people, the technology, the product and its prospects (i.e. - how usable it is to its potential customers).
