<p>A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.</p>
<p>This month we'll have a talk by David Hollingsworth on the Curl language (not to be confused with cUrl the commandline utility).</p>
<p>Curl is a statically typed object-oriented language that JIT-runs in a
browser plugin along with a large number of companion libraries and an IDE.
Curl also has an internal tool for compiling to C, so Curl is >90% written
in Curl. It is not related to the wget-like-library also called Curl. See
<a href="http://www.curl.com">http://www.curl.com</a> for more.</p>
<p>Some of the topics I can cover:
* Why we (still) need a programming language for the Internet (and why Flash/JavaFX/Silverlight ain't it).
* Mixing text and code: not the heresy XML advocates would have you believe.
* Venture Capitalists ate my syntax: switching from Lisp-y Curl to C-y Curl.
* Java Generics almost make me pine for C++ templates OR if {Array-of int} isn't a real type, your type system sucks.
* Yes, Virginia, non-normalized Unicode means operations are O(n) (aka Strings are not really arrays of chars, but they're closer in Curl).
* DSLs in Curl: source-to-source macros ala Lisp.
* Refactoring is for wimps: a strong versioning mechanism partially mitigates the need for backwards-compatibility, but not entirely.
* Plus the standard "ooh shiny" stuff.</p>

<p>A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.</p>
<p>This month we'll have two short-form talks languages being developed by Westsiders. There may be cake! :)</p>

<p>A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.</p>
<p><strong>This month</strong> we'll be running <a href="http://rakudo.org/">Rakudo *</a> to get some exposure to the new Perl 6 language features and check out the Rakudo * ("star") release (a Perl 6 implementation on <a href="http://parrot.org">Parrot</a>.)</p>
<p>The <em>*</em> series is a more featured, predictable, and stable user-focussed release than the git master or monthly development releases of the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler. This is less cutting-edge than the current development version, and is intended to give early users a relatively slow-moving target to experiment with language features and use cases.</p>
<p>Speaking of slow-moving, Rakudo is really, really slow. This is not the production-grade performance you know from Perl 5, this is the westside's MO of oddball programming language geekery and bloody stumps. We're so cutting edge, we might even start the meeting before the release tarball drops. Just in case, here's the instructions for building git master rakudo:</p>
<pre>
git clone
cd rakudo
perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot
make
make install
PATH=$PWD/parrot_install/bin:$PATH
perl6 -e 'say "hello"'
</pre>
<p>Perl 6 is a substantially different language from Perl 5. If you haven't kept up with the developments in the last few years, now is a good time to take it for a spin.</p>

<p>A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.</p>
<p>This month's talk is by Richard Fobes:</p>
<p>"Faster than an FFT, the audio-oriented QRST (spectral transform)"</p>
<p>Based on the interest Phil and Ed expressed in my spectral transform,
I've spent lots of time during the past two months further developing
the software. Besides getting it to work better -- it still needs
refinement -- I've ended up creating an audio-compression method I
call QRST. I'll be playing sound files to demonstrate what the
spectral transform, the audio-compression format, and decompression
back into sound files can do, so this will be much more interesting
than the words "spectral transform" suggest.</p>
<p>BTW, being faster than the FFT is just one of the side effects of
having designed it for use with sound files. Fourier transforms are
sooo ssllooww.</p>
