 **Description**: \\
+Exposing the C++ objects of an application to scripting languages such as Lua, Python or JavaScript offers a myriad of opportunities beyond doing a DSL on the cheap: task automation, macro recording and undo, rapid prototyping, scalable testing, extensibility, flexible architecture to name a few.
+Unfortunately such exposure involves writing a bunch of boilerplate code and often some facades to handle awkward data types.  Clang provides a way to automate the creation of boilerplate code like this.\\
 \\
+We show you how to use clang to get scripting.  Oh, and you can probably build that cheap DSL too!\\
