I like how the speaker mentioned about reducing complex data structures into common structures in order to perform Higher Order manipulations. That is an easy to understand description of the approach. Nice talk.
28:51 Quote: "...suggests a filtering operation..." 29:19 To me, true should mean that the filter kicks in and stops or blocks the element... in other words, filters it out... But the code clearly shows that true means "filtering-in" or into the collection. Perhaps they should do away with the ambiguous filter() function and replace it with more verbose functions: filterIn() & filterOut() ?
5:00 Quote: "Then you have also practical offshoots, the ?ford-jills? of the late 1990s [....]" Can someone translate "ford-jills" for me plz ? What did he say ? What is he talking about ?

34:15 ok, when he used Groovy, he refactored the ambiguous name of filter() to findAll(), which is more clear.
self.note - 34:09 Groovy example sums it up
Great talk. Thanks Neal.
Thanks.
Sure is a lot to think about here.
Damn ... that was a talk. Thumbs up.
link to the language poster?
Great stuff, thanks.

I think he said 4GLs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth-generation_programming_language

In the first 2 min, I see a quelling blade, heard axe and saw timber saw's saw. Too much dota.

Javascript WTF. Who woulda thought?!
4 minutes in the ever animating slides are already hurting my brain. I do like the content though. Just the slides are god awful.
