A weekly podcast with Cliff Click talking about all things to do with programming, programmers and computer performance.
This is a short talk on typing in programming languages, and how it might be improved and a progress report on automatically inferring e.g. recursive types in https://github.com/cliffclick/aa.

Here are two videos of me talking at geecon 2018 in Krakow, PO this spring, and each video covers about 1/3 of what I talk about in the corresponding course in Rocket Realtime School course.
“Self-Awareness for Introverts” – I keynoted this in front of 600 people, and this video covers about 1/3 of the RRS course “Team Dynamics; Self Awareness; Build Systems; Coding for {Progress, Speed, Maintenance}“.
“A Crash Course in Modern Hardware” – Again, this video covers about 1/3 of the RRS course “High Performance from Understanding the Low Levels“. Also in this course I speed up by 5x a small and simple program (275 LOC) doing simple analytics on a 2Gig dataset, and demonstrate the techniques used to speed up a large complex concurrent app by more than 50x.
Enjoy!

I’m teaching a class this summer; the website is here:
Rocket Realtime School of Programming and Performance
This podcast contains a short introduction, and a few minutes spent on the material to be covered in the first few classes: understanding the low-level hardware to help you write higher performing code, and a look at Virtual Machines with a deep dive into the JVM.

Thinking about language design – see https://github.com/cliffclick/aa for the start of an implementation.

And survey results are in! Due to overwhelmingly positive response, I am please to announce the Rocket Realtime School of Programming and Performance, with classes starting sometime this summer or fall. I am frantically trying to get a website for the school together even as I type this.

I am thinking about sharing some of my 45+ years of programming wisdom in a programming course. Are you interested? Please take my (very) short survey:
Interested in an Expert-Programmers Course?
Topics could include (but not limited to): High Performance from understanding the low levels, Machine Learning & AI, Domain Specific Language hacking, Parallel & Distributed Computing and Debugging, Virtual Machines, Code Generation (JIT’ing), Build Systems & Team Dynamics, Coding for Progress, Coding for Speed, Coding for Maintenance.
This course would be taught in the San Francisco Bay Area, including SF proper, San Jose, Berkeley and nearby cities.
