Three Programming Disruptions

on YouTube ↗01h 08m

" summary

Kotlin removes nulls for pure code and forces handling when calling Java, with the Elvis operator for concise fallbacks; its extension functions add methods to existing Java types so Kotlin can retrofit functional APIs without inheritance or bytecode rewrites; Julia compiles functions on first call to native code via LLVM compiled native code, giving near-C/Fortran petaflop numeric speed while calling C/Fortran/Python libraries; WebAssembly runs compact compiled modules in the browser and enables portable, fast binaries.
