title: Great computer-science speeches
body: <p>I've looked into some questions here where the "best" programming books are listed and then thought why there isn't a question concerning speeches yet. I think that speeches or presentations from developers or even creators of programming languages which were or are heavily used at some point are particulary interesting.</p>
  
  <p>One of my favorite speeches was recommended to me by someone here on SO: <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/TL16/" rel="noreferrer">The future of C#</a>
  I also like Guido van Rossum's speeches but he sometimes seems pretty nervous.
  Another in my opinion good presentation would be the Google tech talk about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKnDgT73v8s" rel="noreferrer">Go</a>.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Which (recorded) programming presentations/speeches are worth watching?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>edit: Made this a community wiki as the answer would probably be a pretty long list.</p>
