[eurolisp] ContextL Survey September 2007
by Pascal Costanza 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Context-dependent behavior is becoming increasingly important for a wide range of application domains. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages do not provide mechanisms that enable software entities to adapt their behavior dynamically to the current execution context. In collaboration with various researchers, we have developed a new programming technique called "Context-oriented Programming" (COP). ContextL - http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/contextl.html - is our first fully implemented and currently most mature programming language extension for COP and is built on top of the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). ContextL has first been made available to the public in early 2005, and has already been adopted by a number of programmers. We would now like to assess how well ContextL has been received so far. Please consider participating in our first survey about ContextL - this will help us a lot to develop ContextL and related projects further (like Closer to MOP, etc.). You can find the survey and more information about it at http:// prog.vub.ac.be/~pcostanza/COP/survey.html Thanks a lot, Pascal -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium

[eurolisp] DLS 2007 at OOPSLA - Call for Participation
by Pascal Costanza 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

======================================================================= *** Call for Participation *** D L S 2 0 0 7 Dynamic Languages Symposium October 22, 2007 Palais des congres de Montreal Montreal, Canada co-located with OOPSLA 2007 sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/dls07/ ======================================================================= The Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, and Prolog continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development. This year 30 papers were submitted to the Dynamic Languages Symposium of which 9 papers were accepted. The program committee reviewed each paper and met electronically to select papers for the final program. We are pleased host invited talks by Mark Miller and Jim Hugunin. The program of the Dynamic Languages Symposium is available from http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/dls07/ Please note that participation in DLS requires registration with OOPSLA at http://www.regmaster.com/conf/oopsla2007.html or http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/ Contact: Pascal Costanza (pascal.costanza(a)vub.ac.be) Robert Hirschfeld (hirschfeld(a)hpi.uni-potsdam.de) ======================================================================= -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium

We have not yet decided what the location will be, and this depends on how many people will participate. The dinner will be open to anyone. If you want to attend, please send me a short email notice. Also let me know if you have special dinner needs or wishes. Thanks, Hans

[eurolisp] Lisp work based in Copenhagen
by Nick Levine 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

A Danish startup is looking for one or two additional Lispers to join its existing team and start work as soon as possible on a medium to long term project. The aim is to build a real time trading platform for predictions markets (financial, sports betting, ...). The pace will be challenging, with significant deliverables expected over the coming year; the rewards will be great; and there's a possibility of shares / share options in the company. There's a preference for being located in Copenhagen (and relocation expenses will be met), but remote working is possible for people with proven experience of doing this. Wherever you're based, team work will be essential. There'll be a strong emphasis on requirements focus and evolutionary delivery. Contact Michael Arnoldus, chime(a)mu.dk for further details.

Re: [eurolisp] BeNeLux Lisp meet ing: Sunday, July 1 2007 — 17:00
by Tayssir John Gabbour 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hey Eurolispers, I'm just spamming you a reminder that we're hosting a Lisp meeting in The Hague this Sunday. At least ten people should be here, with a broad range of experiences and interests. For those interested in Lisp businesses, this meeting will be at the offices of a growing Lisp-using company which already has multiple commercial projects. You'll be able to see up-close what sorts of issues arise. I personally hope that these meetings won't just be episodic affairs, but offer a practical service to interested Lisp users. To counterbalance boring business issues, Pascal Costanza is offering an entertainingly philosophical talk about the history of reflection and metaprogramming in the Lisp family. (If you were ever curious what 3-Lisp and its "infinite reflective tower" is all about, you'll no doubt find this interesting.) This is an informal meeting, so no registration is needed: feel free to come as you wish, and I hope you enjoy it. If you need directions or a hotel room, there's more info at: http://wiki.alu.org/BeNeLux Tayssir On Jun 1, 12:57 pm, Tayssir John Gabbour <tayssir.j...(a)googlemail.com> wrote: > Quite a few Lisp users are meeting in the Hague, and hopefully you'll > attend.

[eurolisp] eclm - hamburg -accomodation question
by eurolisp＠mhoffmann.dds.nl 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hi ECLM participants, At the end of the month the ECLM will take place in Hamburg. I am looking for not so expensive accomodation. I had hoped to book a room at instantsleep.de for about euro 25, but the rooms are already gone. Does anybody have information about cheap hotels, private rooms etc. which are recomended? I am also thinking of taking a tent with me, but I am not sure yet. yours, Marc eurolisp(a)mhoffmann.dds.nl
