Since announcing our event, we’ve had great feedback and a lot of interest. People have been nice enough to get the word out to their colleagues, and folks we were hoping to hear from have come out of the woodwork to confirm their attendance.
It’s my pleasure to announce that we’ve updated our speaker list to include the following individuals:
- Erik Meijer – C#
- Rich Hickey – Clojure
- Slava Pestov – Factor
- Mark S Miller – E, Caja
- Christopher Bertels – Fancy
- Jonathan Edwards – Coherence/Subtext
- Alex Eagle – Noop
- Tav – PyPy
- Brian Rice – Slate
The Emerging Languages Conference is quickly turning into a world-class event, one that’s going to bring together some of the biggest names in programming language design, research, and implementation. We couldn’t be happier with the response.
We’ll have updates soon about pricing for the event and access to OSCON, so check back soon!

Yeah, Erik Meijer and Rich Hickey! I’m really looking forward to meet all of them :)
Great line-up of speakers so far :)
