Miguel on Mono
In this week’s Technometria podcast, Scott, Ben, and I talk with Miguel de Icaza, the founder and force behind the Mono project. We had a great discussion about the project’s history, purpose, and architecture. We also got into some discussion of programming languages in general. I think you’ll enjoy it.
One program note: Matt Asay, who has been a co-host on Technometria for many months has had to pull back on his involvement. Ben Galbraith, a good friend and great technologist, has joined Scott and I in our weekly show.

At the end of your talk with Miguel, you asked if anyone enjoyed the more technical nature of the conversation.
Yes! Wonderful! When you have a major technical leader on, it's a good thing to be able to engage them on those terms.
A sideways example: I've read things for years from Alan Kay about Smalltalk. But it wasn't until I read his History of Programming Lanaguges paper on the early history of Smalltalk that I really understood just how powerful his ideas were.
(That paper is at http://www.smalltalk.org/smalltalk/TheEarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk_Abstract.html ).
