Just saw "wat" talk (https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat) linked in another HN thread. Thought this was somebody trying to climb the ladder using that vid. Amazing how the mind works. That talk is so great that this word is now a reserved keyword for me for the rest of my life I fear.

Still not disappointed to browse this github for a bit.

If you loved that video, try this great Perl presentation from Netanel Rubin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQcWra6sbU

And it's follow-up cousin "The Camel Strikes Back" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYl3-c2JSL8

(He says wat alot and it's hilarious)

I think you may be right, because I had the same exact thought, and I haven’t watched the wat video in a couple years.

Great video, especially for anyone new to dynamic typing.
