The topic is "Past and Present: Comparing Python to Newer Languages for Practical Purposes"
Zed says:
"I will take the simple task of writing an automated test and use it to compare Python to the newer languages Nim, Rust, Go, and Zig. I'll talk briefly about my testing strategy as a lone developer and business owner, how costs are a significant factor in any small to medium business like mine, how testing reduces my costs, and then cover how I see the latest programming languages potentially changing programmer productivity."
