03/23/2019, 6:46 PMHere is the annotation:
Kotlin is a good candidate for the next language for science in general and physics in particular. In this talk I would like to describe some applications of Kotlin in particle physics (analysis automation, Monte-Carlo simulations and general computations), discuss barriers for Kotlin adoption in scientific community and present recent results of scientific library development in Kotlin (kmath and some other projects).

03/23/2019, 6:52 PM@altavir I was thinking about proposing a second talk on positioning Kotlin for a post-"data science" world. It sounds like you already got it covered for the most part.

03/23/2019, 6:55 PMI like the concept of post-"data-science". In this case I will present some work that is already done. Also I want to rise some questions about problems that kotlin presents to sceince (compared to C++ and Julia), migration issues, etc, whatever I can squeeze in the allotted time.

03/23/2019, 6:55 PMI could have a lot of fun with that premise. But I've been finding demos and actual examples have a more positive response and impact. You can always wrap it all up with a narrative to make your point.

03/23/2019, 6:56 PMI'm curious to see what you come up with. It sounds like you have a lot of topics to choose from to squeeze into 45 minutes

03/23/2019, 6:59 PMYes. That is why I want to try to focus on already working projects. With some infusion from kmath of course.
