About this episode
This week on The Changelog we're joined by Drew DeVault, talking about the Hare programming language. From the website, Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. When we asked Drew why he created it, he said "[because] I wanted it to exist, and it did not exist." Wise words.
We discuss Hare (of course), why he's so passionate about all things open source, the state of the language, fostering a culture that values stability, and oddly enough — what it takes to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
