  2. @elvvin I think the key feature would be the the ability to get to a similar enough level of abstraction in code and conversation.
  3. @bmizerany Hey, it works on my machine, what are you complaining about? I can't fix bugs I'm not able to reproduce.... ;-)
  4. New blog post: "Hand Shadows as an Analogy for Understanding Communicative Programming". http://is.gd/52TB3

  18. @metapandava We also need languages to support the programmer at the business end; Conceptual Efficiency over Computational Efficiency.
  19. @metapandava Yes, I agree with you. It seemed clear that Go was designed to make those at the machine end of the programming stack happy.
