Abstract:

The traditional academic view of programming is focused on language. However, this approach flies in the face of reality. Programming involves not only language, but libraries, implementation, tooling and community.  A holistic approach that integrates all of these elements is needed. The field of programming language must evolve into the field of programming experience. The talk will present a concrete vision of such an experience, rooted in the history of the field.
