This appears to be the audio of Matz talk at BYU right before RubyConf. The
video is available too here:

Yes.

I like the

DONUTS WILL BE PROVIDED

in a font almost as large and heavy as the title
on the flier,

http://www.cs.byu.edu/colloquia/2006Fall/Yukihiro_Matsumoto_flyer.pdf

Anyone have the link for the slides? (The movie has very
high compression.)

Oops; the slides are on the colloquia page.

heh, we take our donuts seriously in Provo.
and, yes, they were good donuts (at least my maple bar was).

Is it really fair to say that the ruby program

print *ARGF

is the same as /bin/cat? When used interactively they are different:

$ cat cat.rb
print *ARGF
$ ruby cat.rb
1
2
3
1
2
3
$ cat
1
1
2
2
3
3
$ ruby -e 'ARGF.each{|line| print line}'
1
1
2
2
3
3

Also, with a lot of input, the memory usage will be very different,
since 'print *ARGF' slurps all input.

But even 'ARGF.each{|line| print line}' is a lot shorter than 50 lines of C!

but how many lines of C are hidden behind that 'ARGF.each{|line|
print line}'

For that matter, how many machine instructions behind those 50 lines of
C, and how many femto-turtles carrying out those instructions, and so on
all the way down?

For performance, write it in femto-turtles .

I'm writing a DSL to manipulate the spacetime foam directly.
Performance above all!

How do you get the dust mites out of the spacetime foam? I can't use it
in a pillow if it has dust mites!
