Current competitors:


   - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Haskell or: How a List Comprehension
   Is Like a Burrito*
   (0:05:00 Minutes)
   By: Greg Kettler
   It's a compiled, statically typed, lazy, purely functional programming
   language. About as far as possible from Python? Not quite. The languages
   have a lot in common and Python has already borrowed a few tricks from
   Haskell.
   - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: QUASI*
   (0:05:00 Minutes)
   By: Randy Baxley
   1977 - A language, the description of which was handed to me on about
   one hundred and fifty mimeographed eight and one half by eleven sheets.
   Robert Sibley handed it to the class to use as our compiler project.
   - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV CoffeeScript*
   (0:05:00 Minutes)
   By: Feihong Hsu
   A brief introduction to CoffeeScript.
   - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Ruby*
   (0:05:00 Minutes)
   By: Ross Heflin
   Ruby, what you need to know
   - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Go: come drink the delicious kool-aid*
   (0:05:00 Minutes)
   By: David Sutton
   From the makers of the wildly successful Plan 9 operating system and B
   programming language. Go is google's stab at a systems programming.
   - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: C# is slightly better than you might
   imagine*
   (0:05:00 Minutes)
   By: Philip Doctor
   If you find yourself accidentally writing c#, you can still have some
   fun.


At some point, we will take a break and talk about next month's sprint for
Mozilla Open Badges in webdev.
