📍 Venue: Vedrai, Piazza Vetra 17 (MM3 Missori)
⭐️ The Zen of Gleam
Gleam is a new “friendly programming language for building type safe systems that scale”.
In this talk we’ll learn about the design philosophy underpinning Gleam,
what does it even mean for a programming language to be friendly, and
what’s the ace up Gleam’s sleeve that enables you to write highly
concurrent and fault tolerant systems.
By the end of it you’ll have all you need to keep your Gleam journey going and become a true Gleamlin!
Giacomo Cavalieri is a software developer and a functional programming enthusiast.
Upon discovering Gleam he couldn’t help but fall in love with the language and its friendly community.
He’s now a member of Gleam’s core team and an active contributor to its compiler’s development.
👑 Nim for Pythonistas (and Open Source Lovers)
You might have heard of Nim as a fast and statically typed language with a Python-like syntax that compiles to compact executables and you are curious to hear more about it.
Or you might have never heard of Nim and you might be curious what a talk about another programming language (that is not Rust) has anything to do with a Python devroom.
Or maybe you are someone who loves Open Source (possibly even contributed to some open source projects) but does not feel like you will ever be able to contribute a project of your own that might interest others.
If you connect with one of these three descriptions, I have prepared this talk for you.
Pietro Peterlongo is a Data Scientist who loves programming (languages) is people driven and trying to focus.
