[PSF-Community] Back Story on the Guido, Larry Wall, Anders Hejlsberg, and James Gosling benefit event for CSforALL

[Vasudev Ram]

Let us know whether and when there will be a video of the events. Such
events can be fun to watch / listen to. I've blogged about one or two
on similar lines, here is the link for one, that I remember:

  Video: C++, Rust, D and Go: Panel at LangNext '14

  https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2016/08/video-c-rust-d-and-go-panel-at-langnext.html

Excerpt from the post:

[ The languages discussed are: C++, D, Go and Rust, by a panel at LangNext '14.

The panel consisted of key team members from the teams working on
those languages:

- Bjarne Stroustrup for C++
- Andrei Alexandrescu for D
- Rob Pike for Go
- Niko Matsakis for Rust

]

There is an interesting / amusing vignette involving Stroustrup and
others on the subject of C++ compilation times, near the end of the
video, IIRC.
