Artagnon's Presence

I thought the “Haskell Internals” talk was probably too technical. I expected a lot of people to have some prior exposure to functional programming. Otherwise the Haskell code dump would have shocked them. @swaroopch told me that my “An Insight into CPython Compiler Design” (it’s called unladen-swallow.pdf here) was good, mainly because I made it clear what I’m going to be talking about in the title. @NOLFXceptMe told me that the talk was super-informal, like I was explaining to someone across the coffee table- exactly what I intended! It has a LOT of C code, but that didn’t scare people one bit. I could tell from the feedback session that many of them actually read the code, unlike the Haskell code from my previous talk. Anyway, lesson learnt. Here are the slides. You can get the sources and compile it for yourself with notes, or just see the BiBTeX references here. Oh, and the comments section in the blog exists for a reason- I want feedback! I can’t improve without it.
