I've mentioned Josh “Eggyknap” Tolley's adventures with LOLCODE in PostgreSQL before, but never really gave him the spotlight. About a week ago, he presented his work at PostgreSQL Conference: West about a week ago. LOLCODE once again proves its worth as a “HAI WORLD” language for language implementors, as Josh's 90-minute presentation was a tutorial on how to implement a procedural language for PostgreSQL.
The entertaining and informative slides are here, and there's a bonus program listing telling you how to calculate pi.
Thanks, Josh, and congrats on a job well done!
