154: Why all the Curly Braces? with Scott Wlaschin
In this weeks episode we are lucky to have Scott Wlaschin back on the show to discuss his most recent talk \u2018Four Languages from Forty Years Ago\u2019.\nWe start off by talking about why the 1970\u2019s was such an influential decade for language design.\nThis leads us on to highlight what a programming language fundamentally is, and explain the many different paradigms that are present.\nFrom here, we explain the issue with throwing out the design phase completely when building software, and the interesting points made in Richard Gabriel\u2019s \u2018Worse is Better\u2019 essay.\nFinally, we try to make sense of why all popular programming languages today follow a very similar style, and what is with all the curly braces?!
