This episode is a conversation with Gilad Bracha about Newspeak, type systems in general and optional/pluggable types in particular. It was recorded during DSL Devcon in the gardens of the Microsoft campus, and thanks to Gilad's "speaking like a book" way of talking it is published completely unedited :-)

Great quotes


    

      
Gilad has an adroit way of putting things. One quote I particularly enjoyed was "a type system is essentially Napoleonic law".

Another great podcast!


    

      
I really enjoy these in-depth discussions and exploratory podcasts. SE-radio is my favourite IT related podcast. Please keep up the great interviews. I hope that you are not running out of new guests and topics!

Interesting


    

      
Now, wouldn't it be nice to have an episode with a proponent of strict static typing as well? There must be some benefits, those people aren't doing static typing just because they are morons...
