  5. Static checking is good. Casting is evil.

  6. New perspectives

  7. Combine the best of two worlds!

  8. It failed

  9. Open up a new set of possibilities

  10. Ruby disappoints

  11. list.select { |x| x > 0 } filter (> 0)

    list list.filter(function(x) { return x > 0 })

  12. && || !

  13. EVERYTHING IS AN OBJECT!!!

  14. A dynamic language should be moldable

  15. Syntax unification

  16. Operators on steroids

  17. Call by name

  18. We are not there yet

  19. Safety? Performance?
