+ Myrddin is a programming language that was written for a saner, easier to
+ use programming environment that I find more pleasant than C. The language
+ lives somewhere between C and ML in design, with parametric polymorphism,
+ type inference, closures, and pattern matching. In some ways, it can be
+ thought of as a suckless rust.

+ It also comes with a complete replacement for many standard libraries on a

+(15:30-16:10) text engine, Francesc Hervada-Sala
+
+ The right approach to software systems was introduced by the Unix programming
+ environment over forty years ago with a file system that opened access to data
+ across all applications and with a universal interface model based on strings.
+ This approach must be deepened. Let us define "text" as the semantic data
+ structure that results from parsing strings. Imagine that a software system has
+ a "text engine" at its kernel. When you edit a run control file and save it,
+ the text engine parses it and stores its parse tree into the central
+ repository. When you execute an instruction at the shell, the text engine
+ parses the command line and sets all parameters in the repository before
+ executing the command. An application retrieves a configuration parameter by
+ querying the text engine. In such a system parsers for particular formats or
+ languages would not be embedded into particular applications or commands,
+ they would be stand-alone software units with the sole purpose of converting
+ a string into a semantic representation in the text engine's repository.
+ Applications would not have to deal with and not be tied to particular file
+ formats and languages, and the user would be able to choose the format or
+ language to use for any configuration statement. The user would change the
+ name of a file and would not need to adjust all references to it inside
+ scripts and other files, because the reference in the repository (say as
+ inode) would remain unchanged. To experiment with this new
+ approach I am beginning to develop a text engine
