- annihilate your bytecode. be violent!
- Scala talks are very serious. Clojure programmers can't find jobs, do fun things instead?
- at least we have Shadaj, and Jon & Miles

- lying liars lie when they declare dependencies
- Nix envy
- snapshots suck
- proper timing of the open-source novelty hump
- a man-person is a person-thread
- Michael Pilquist asks: will anyone use it besides Typesafe and Typelevel Scala?

- "Towards 'annex', a Fact Based Dependency System"
- by Mark Hibberd
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjYAnBhF2JU
- "Towards 'annex', a Fact Based Dependency System"
- much build, many repository
- sbt team did a survey of all the possible ways of serializing Scala objects
- there are like 40. there is no winner.

- JSON lacks many negatives. but not all of them
- JSON API versioning is a big problem
- there are many competing versions of XSD for JSON

- oh god, somebody said CORBA. and they didn't stop. then they said SOAP.
- Protobuf. it has a purpose.
- Scodec to the rescue?
- https://github.com/scodec/scodec
- Daniel is too modest to publish his ideas anywhere but as a gist
- Monoids 101 with Professor Spiewak
- Josh: does this support open extension of the protocol?
- the whole subject of serialization depresses Seth
- this isn't why we became programmers
- please, some brilliant person, save us
- JSONx makes Daniel feel dirty
- Transit is "definitely an improvement over JSON", says Josh
- but the word "but" follows soon after
- throw your hands in the air and go dynamic, man!
- Rob Norris makes a Simpsons reference that flies right by all of us
- poor CORBA gets made fun of again
- Go compiler targeting the JVM:

- if
ifis a statement and not an expression, we're packing up and going home - there's this Dart thing, supposedly
- Josh has Google Configuration Language nostalgia
- sad ponies broke our podcast
