@borkdude Holy cow, I got to talk with Dr. Thomas Wuerthinger this morning, who created the GraalVM project. (I’m so excited that he’ll be giving a talk at the DevOps Enterprise Summit in December, to tell the story of the work of his amazing team.) We’re both waving at you. 🙂
Great :)
“Oh, yes, borkdude. He’s fantastic!” A testament to the visibility of your work inside the GraalVM team! 🙂
Tell him he should speak at Strange Loop :)
Freaking awesome! I’ll make introduction to him, Alex. He’s got such an amazing story to share, on so many dimensions: organizational change, innovation, doing innovation adjacent to very powerful incumbent groups (Java, existing JVM team, etc.), so many cool stories!
please do, I've sent him invites several times, never got a response
@genekim Thomas looks the same as I remember him from my Oracle Labs endevour back in 2017, he simply does not age. He's also extremely polite and profi. I can imagine it had to be a great chat.
@ales.najmann That’s awesome!!! I’ll make sure to convey your regards!
@alexmiller I’ll bring up Strange Loop in my recording session with him later today!
Look! We got Clojure logo added to the GraalVM architecture slides! 😆
(We’ve won!!! 😂)
@genekim LOL Were you aware of this tweet? ;) https://twitter.com/borkdude/status/1570348306035011584
