Growing a Language by Guy Steele

If anyone can find it, I suggest checking out the Guy Steele and Richard Gabriel talk "50 in 50" where they say 50 words each about 50 different languages. I can't seem to find the slides online, but I know that it was presented at the OOPSLA and and HOPL III acm conferences...

Here's an audio version:

awesome, i'll try to blog about this, too :)

I loved it. Stick with it for the first... 15 minutes or so, and you'll realize how clever his talk is.

Here is a pointer to a transcript of this talk:
