Best Talk Of All Time

This year at OOPSLA, a group took a look at the last 20 years of OOPSLA. When a man asked the group “what was the best talk of all time at OOPSLA?”, they all said Guy Steele’s talk from OOPSLA 1998.
They showed a film of his talk in the hall of books. I thought that I had seen great talks in my life, but I can’t think of one that tops this. If you can, watch the film (I think you will need to buy it from the ACM). You may read the talk on the web, but if you do read it out loud. Yes – this may seem like a strange thing to do, but you may miss the best part of this talk if you do not.
