More than his (incredible) stories, his (equally incredible) insights, what sets Roberto aside is his light-hearted attitude to sharing his work with the masses, and his unique sense of humor. A wonderful interview of an inspiring personality! 2022-11-0850 minWe Speak Your LanguageEpisode 2 - Walter BrightOver his career, Walter Bright has accomplished many wonderful things, his most notable work being the D programming language. In this episode Walter discusses his life's work, including how he embarked upon the creation of the D language and also his work creating the Zortech C++ compiler. 2022-09-2755 minWe Speak Your LanguageEpisode 1 - Nora SandlerAt just 30 years old, Nora has achieved some things that some people would not achieve in their entire lifetime.
