Abstract: 

Remedy’s rapid-iteration framework has gone open-source, and on top of that it’s being pushed into a production environment with an unconventional userbase for compiled code - scripters. This talk will cover the challenges involved in creating a middleware for immediate use in a production environment; how it provides the backbone to replace scripting in a traditional sense; and design considerations required when your userbase can’t be shrugged off by saying, “They’re programmers, they can deal with a restrictive or unintuitive API.”
