@gilmae Ohhhhhh. I gotcha. (Was there a horn??)


@andee_marks I can’t wait to see the video of your talk. If the tweets were anything to go by, I’m expecting to be blown away! 🙂


SYDNEY! If you’re not going to #ylj17 (or even if you are), you should come along Tuesday to hear talks from @bodil and @mseckington. https://t.co/FjziuX6QBb


@gilmae Well, the Deans should still be in it, goddammit. And I really wanted to see Blaine.


@parisba ARGH. @thecolourfool harangued me about this literally just last night.


@lucykbain @mseckington Indeed! I actually thought of you during this one – it’s right up your alley 🙂


See you, Perth! I had a blast at #yowwest. I’ll be back, I promise. 😉 (@ T4 Qantas Domestic & Jetstar) https://t.co/kVIwznVM4f


@gilmae Interesting. I thought the presence of the horn would mean 99% of story would still be the same. Over and over, wheel of ka


@gilmae So it’s more of a butterfly effect then – this rotation being vastly different it seems.

@gilmae Boo to that. The Drawing of the Three is already cinematic!


RT @BonnePioche: At #yownight with the great @web_goddess Learning about the ‘perfect language’, presented by Bodil Stokke https://t.co/Y36…


Fantastic Melbourne crowd to greet @bodil for her #yownight talk on “The Perfect Language.” https://t.co/rk64s13TqH


“There’s no such thing as the perfect language. What – no one’s going to argue that? Not even the PHP developers?” 🤣 @bodil #yownight


@mkeshav We’ve gotta change that. Any ideas?


Incredulous chuckles as @bodil demos some of her favourite WTF JavaScript examples. #yownight https://t.co/xnUVJrvpoX


Rust is “close to the metal”… and the start of a very interesting programming language journey. It also has a very cute mascot! #yownight https://t.co/Vg1dL6kZLL


Do we really need another language? Maybe not. Maybe better tooling and standard libraries would improve things. @bodil #yownight


Stop thinking about the machinery of programming; start thinking about the problem you’re solving. @bodil #yownight https://t.co/M4IR2ug5Op


@mkeshav I’d love to have them be free, but whether we do that, people claim them but don’t turn up. 😞


@candeira @bodil There are puppers throughout!! https://t.co/SQq0ngR7SJ


Behold BODULA-2 – “a way to trick JavaScript programmers into becoming Haskell programmers.” 😂 #yownight https://t.co/fac0R1yN1H


I watched Hidden Figures on the plane today. It was a little formulaic, but I was still tearing up within 10 minutes. 😭👩🏾‍💻🚀


“This point is so important I put it in its own slide, and I put THREE dogs on it!” #yownight 🐶🐶🐶 @bodil


@toolmantim It made me want to learn FORTRAN. 🤣


@bodil https://t.co/sLHzhoP51f – https://t.co/0JekJ03qH3


@glenngillen @toolmantim Huh. I did not know that. I just thought it’s because I’m a big baby. 😂


@starbuxman I’m more of a cat person. This flufferson is waiting for me at home!! 😻 https://t.co/GWMN4DDBve


@glasnt Can I assume you’re writing proposal for quokka emoji as we speak?


RT @glasnt: @web_goddess why not just use “🐿️🇦🇺”? 😊


@grepory @starbuxman Hello new friend! This is Dr Amy Jones, aka Puss-Puss, aka Softest Kitty in the World. https://t.co/QO5GwckKeo


@caseywest Legend.


RT @Malarkey: If I knew what React was, I would tell you that we’re looking for expert React developers at @ansarada. But I don’t.


RT @michaelides_j: I am so fucking glad I live in Australia https://t.co/iBjV2I9LLl


#yowwest was fun and I learned heaps, but I reckon my favourite part was theatre-geeking hard with @pwcc about Hamilton. WERK!


@johnallsopp @pwcc I’ll let you know. (I’m listening to it now.)
