The motto "Keep Portland Weird" even applies to computer languages, if "weird" can mean "eclectic" -- just witness The Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration... or pdxlang for short. How eclectic? Well, Haskell would be considered practically a mainstream language here in Portland, so probably wouldn't qualify. Anyway, ScalPL (as described on this blog and the Scalable Planning book) was deemed weird... um, I mean eclectic enough to merit a presentation (immediately following a presentation on m4) last Thursday. And here is the screen capture of that presentation.
This was my first attempt at screen cap, so it's not perfect. Also, due to time constraints, the OO concepts at the end aren't especially well covered: Look for another vid later to do a better job on that. But if you are looking for a pretty thorough intro on what ScalPL is all about, here's a 72-minute presentation, followed by a 10-minute Q&A. (No significant background in parallel processing is assumed.)
