4 Bringing arrow functions to Python

In this lightning talk, we’ll explore how to modify the Python grammar to add (clearly superior) JavaScript-style arrow functions to Python,
providing a cleaner alternative to traditional lambda functions. We'll walk through the steps required to adapt Python to support this new feature.
The talk will conclude with a live demo, showcasing arrow functions in action using a custom-compiled Python interpreter.
Get ready to see Python code like you've never seen it before!

5 Managing passwords in the terminal

Managing your personal passwords and credentials can be challenging often we resort to third party passwords managers, however there is another option. This talk covers pass a unix based tool for managing passwords. With pass, passwords are managed as encrypted gpg files: they can be easily and safely transferred from computer to computer, or manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.
