I like things that compute, even more so if they aren't computers. After 15 years in academia programming molecules, I'm now programming homo economicuses sharing electricity.
I like programming computers too, especially distributed things like version control.

The politics of language design
Pierre-Étienne Meunier
This talk is about Elpe, a mixture of ideas from Nix, Docker and Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL, with a strong focus on performance and security.
I'll talk about the design choices I've made, and demo the thing and about how choices that may seem purely technical can have extreme political consequences. I'll also explain how such choices can have deep and lasting consequences on the dynamics of growing organisations.
