Guy Steele：让语言长大

Guy Steele's 1998 OOPSLA keynote on designing a programming language that its users can grow. He builds the talk using only one-syllable words and terms he has defined, to demonstrate the idea.

Why HN likes it: HN considers it one of the best technical talks ever and cites it in discussions of language design, small cores and extensibility.

“This is probably the best talk ever on the general topic”
