Serverless Django: Zappa & Python Lisp: Hylang

Lightning Demo: Zappa

See an infinitely scalable serverless Django app deployed on AWS Lambda via Zappa, live!

Anthony Manning-Franklin is a recent convert to the blessed programmatic serpent that is Python! Having come from the treacherously inconsistent and unnecessarily verbose land of PHP, Anthony enjoys building Django apps, figuring out what the limits of AWS Lambda truly are, and not seeing anymore dollar signs in his code.

Talk: Hylang

Imagine if you took the power of a python and married it with the intellectual hubris and insanity of a mathematician-philosopher-scientist. What would you get? That's right, Snake-ocrates. Or maybe you would get Hy. I mean really Hy like if you smoked a deck of playing cards coated in crack. Don't do that. This talk is about getting Hy and programming in Python with a LISP syntax. Prepare for your mind to get bent.

Chris McCormick has been writing code since he was 8 and has barely improved in that time. Despite this people keep letting him near their machines for some reason. Thanks to reluctant associations with much smarter people, he somehow stumbled on LISP after 30 years of programming and is now breaking computers in new and exciting ways.
