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

Rather than derision, @twalve sees power and flexibility in this famous CSS meme mug. #yowwest https://t.co/ZqCAqs0K8Q

CSS developers should get onboard with testing, atomic design, pre-processors. #yowwest @twalve https://t.co/5mdoOCvxIy

CSS devs should use vocab of other programmers: immutability, reasoning, chaining, parallelism. Common language -> understanding. #yowwest
