• Feldman expresses his sadness at leaving the conference, citing the value of the community and connections he has made there |
• He discusses his work on a new programming language, Roc, which is inspired by Elm but designed for different use cases |
• Roc is a language that can be used for various purposes, from building desktop applications to servers and databases |
• The language is designed to be flexible and can be used in different contexts, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use |
• Roc has a concept called "platforms and applications" that allows users to choose a platform to build on, which can provide a framework-like experience |
• The goal of Roc is not to make money, but to create a language that the creator wants to exist in the world |
• Roc compiles to either machine code or WebAssembly, with the latter being used for the web REPL on the Roc website |
• The creator of Roc is familiar with Rust and its WebAssembly capabilities, and sees potential for Roc to be used with WebAssembly in various ways |
• Colin Dean's 8 dogs |

• Taylor Troesh shares a story about a chaotic experience at an Airbnb during the Strange Loop conference |
• Details of the Airbnb situation, including a host passed out on the couch and a bridesmaid party |
• Taylor Troesh's account of being forced to help a girl get an Uber and his discomfort with the situation |
• Taylor Troesh shares a story about a awkward interaction with a group of people at an Airbnb, where they accused him of lying, but ultimately seemed to be drunk and forgetful. |
• Taylor Troesh also shares a story about being challenged to a magic battle by a microbiologist who was trying to impress someone, and how the two magicians ended up messing up and getting sloppier as they went on. |
• The conversation turns to the hierarchy of magicians, with Taylor Troesh suggesting that card magic is at the top, and coin magic (his specialty) is near the bottom. |
• Taylor Troesh jokingly claims that clowns are at the bottom of magic, but at the top of comedy. |
• The conversation then shifts to an interview with Pokey Rule, who explains that his unusual name is a result of his parents originally calling him Porky when he was a baby, and then dropping the "r" later on. |
• Introduction of Pokey Rule and his talk on Cursorless, a spoken programming language |
• Pokey Rule's reason for developing Cursorless: repetitive strain injury and pain from using a keyboard |
• Cursorless allows for editing code in text using voice commands, addressing the 90% of coding time spent editing |
• Comparison with previous attempts at voice coding, such as Josh Comeau's approach |
• Explanation of how Cursorless uses custom grammars and codewords for letters to enable efficient voice coding |
• Discussion of the benefits of using pops as a shortcut for repeating previous voice commands |
• Pokey Rule's experience with Talon Voice and its limitations, leading to the development of Cursorless |
• The difficulties of initially learning to code by voice and the mental load involved |
• The difference between "brain one" (muscle memory) and "brain two" (intelligent thinking), and how voice coding can move from one to the other with practice |
• The forgiveness of voice coding, including the accuracy of the recognition engine and the need for precise grammar |
• The consequences of deviating from the precise grammar, including the risk of commands being misinterpreted or canceled |
• The advantages and disadvantages of using voice coding versus other methods, such as signing or typing on a keyboard |
• The optional use of voice coding as a primary means of coding, and the ability to switch to a keyboard if needed |

**Jerod Santo:** Alright, so we have AnnMarie Thomas. Is that how you say your name? |
**AnnMarie Thomas:** Exactly, yeah. |
**Jerod Santo:** Who just gave an amazing keynote this morning. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's right. |
**Jerod Santo:** "Play with engineering", is that the title? |
**AnnMarie Thomas:** "Playing with engineering." That was close. |
**Jerod Santo:** "Playing with engineering." Going off memory here... I would call it a multimedia presentation. Many of our audience have probably been to conferences, have probably given talks... There's a lot that goes into a talk, especially a keynote. It's in a beautiful auditorium... |
**AnnMarie Thomas:** It's pretty \[unintelligible 00:04:37.11\] |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Is that right? |
**AnnMarie Thomas:** Yeah. |
**Jerod Santo:** Thousands of people in the audience... And off to a smashing start... And then a little audio/video snafu... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** You did so well though. |
**Jerod Santo:** ...which was gonna become a much bigger snafu later on, because you had some audio that needed to be played... |
**AnnMarie Thomas:** Yeah. |
**Jerod Santo:** And then -- |
