Presentation: "Speeding Ducks"

Time: Monday 14:00 - 14:45

Location: To be announced

Abstract: There's a common misconception that dynamic, "duck typed" object-oriented languages are inherently slow. History shows otherwise. Starting with the advances made by implementations of historically-important languages such as Smalltalk and Self, we will discuss how these techniques are being, should be, or could be applied to current dynamic favorites such as Ruby and Javascript.
