Languages - what's to learn from them? Relics of the past; we know how to design them / to use them. Types / messages / invocation / loops / numbers / methods / big ol' libraries / lots of = signs. Heh, but what is programming, and what role do programming languages play in that process? We have learned a lot over the last five decades: organizing principles, established conventions, theory, fashions, and fads. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In this talk we survey what we think are the most important lessons of the past that future programmers, and future programming language designers, ought not forget. We illustrate each lesson by discussing specific programming languages of the past, and endeavor to shine what light we can on the future.

Solanum ferox L. Solanaceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names and sharing with other similar species such as S. macrocarpon - Terung masam. Terung bulu, Terong asam, Terong Dayak, Terong Iban, Tabanburo, Tarambulo, Sinkade, Tarabi], Hairy-fruited eggplant, Malaysian sunplant, Yellow-fruited nightshade. Native to China, Taiwan, Indian Subcontinent (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka), Indo-China (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam), Malesia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines), Solomon Islands. S. ferox is an unresolved name according to The Plant List, while GRIN and FRIM classify the species name S. ferox as auct. and a synonym to S. lasiocarpum and S. indicum. Many hybrids and cultivars. Some of the cultivated "Domesticum Group" ones are devoid of fuzzy hairs around fruits, reduced prickles on vegetative parts and variable fruit sizes. The specimen is a wild type armed with sharp prickles at its vegetative parts usually found on waste ground and quite widespread. The fruits are used in sauces and curries and, like those of most of these (eggplant / nightshade borderline) plants, have a sour taste. In traditional medicine the seeds are used to treat toothache by rolling them in a banana leaf, burning them as a cigar and inhaling the smoke. The roots are used to cure wounds, severe bruises, itch, syphilis and to relieve violent pains all over the body. The fuzzy irritating hairs are easily removed by briefly passing over an open fire or rubbed with coconut husk.

"Crown shyness - a tendency typical of the species of the same kind to shy away from each other and creating gaps. The phenomena often seen in the upper canopy vegetation and large tree species. The minimal sun rays ("sub-flecks") penetrating through the gaps sustain understorey vegetation and also a vent for atmospheric gaseous exchange."
______________
Most dipterocarps are towering emergent species and approaching close to the mature trees is simply like hitting a wall. If you're in a jungle don't forget to wear caps or hat; and when looking up please ensure your mouth is not wide open, or like saying, "waaaa", 'cos you may end up having some extra "vitamins" in your mouth - bird droppings and something else falling from the sky.

Rhizome of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe. Zingiberaceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Temu emas, Temu kuning, Temu puteh, Temu putih, Koneng tegal, Temu pepet], Kachur, Kanchoor, Kentjur, Kha min khao, Khamin khun, Kha min hawkuen, Kha min io, Setwall, White turmeric, Zedoary turmeric, Zedoary. Native to Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Indo-China, Thailand, Malaysia (Malaya]; elsewhere cultivated. Herb to about 1 m tall. Habitat - waste ground. It was introduced to Europe by Arabs around the sixth century, but its use as a spice in the West today is extremely rare, having been replaced by ginger. Perhaps, the reason for the numerous vernacular names in many cultures. Fresh white turmeric is used in Thailand and Indonesia as an aromatic vegetable. It is milder than yellow turmeric and doesn't present the staining problem. Dried it is more bitter and must be used sparingly. Turmeric leaves are also used in some recipes. In India it is used as a flavoring in pickles. Medicinally it is used in China and Japan and also in perfumes and liquors.
Botanical description:
Root stock ovoid, tubers many, some 2.5 cm in diameter, sessile, cylindric and many oblong terminating long fibres, leaves 30-60 cm oblong, accuminate, narrowed to the base, petiole longer than the blade; spikes vernal 15 x 7.5 cm broad; flowering bracts 3.75 cm, ovate, green, often slightly tinged with red; bracts many, spreading bright red; flowers pale yellow, rather shorter than the bracts. Capsule ovoid, trigonous, smooth, dehiscing irregularly; seeds oblong, aril lanceolate, white.

Keynote 50 in 50
Languages - what's to learn from them? Relics of the past; we know how to design them / to use them. Types / messages / invocation / loops / numbers / methods / big ol' libraries / lots of = signs. Heh, but what is programming, and what role do programming languages play in that process? We have learned a lot over the last five decades: organizing principles, established conventions, theory, fashions, and fads. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In this talk we survey what we think are the most important lessons of the past that future programmers, and future programming language designers, ought not forget. We illustrate each lesson by discussing specific programming languages of the past, and endeavor to shine what light we can on the future.
Keywords: Languages, Patterns, Design, Architecure, Experience
Target Audience: People not afraid of finding out just how weird our predecessors were and who enjoy theater style.

Keynote 50 in 50
Languages - what's to learn from them? Relics of the past; we know how to design them / to use them. Types / messages / invocation / loops / numbers / methods / big ol' libraries / lots of = signs. Heh, but what is programming, and what role do programming languages play in that process? We have learned a lot over the last five decades: organizing principles, established conventions, theory, fashions, and fads. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In this talk we survey what we think are the most important lessons of the past that future programmers, and future programming language designers, ought not forget. We illustrate each lesson by discussing specific programming languages of the past, and endeavor to shine what light we can on the future.
Keywords: Languages, Patterns, Design, Architecure, Experience
Target Audience: People not afraid of finding out just how weird our predecessors were and who enjoy theater style.
