Otherwise, I need to rescue your message out of the potential-spam queue before it gets delivered to the list, which tends to delay your message from getting to the list for about 0 - 48 hours.

The latter category subsumes present-day computer algebra systems (CAS), interactive proof assistants (PA), and automated theorem provers (ATP), all heading towards fully integrated mechanized mathematical assistants that are expected to emerge eventually (cf. the objective of Calculemus). The two subjects of PL and MMS meet in the following topics, which are of particular interest to this workshop: * Dedicated input languages for MMS: covers all aspects of languages intended for the user to deploy or extend th Jacques Carette 2008-04-23T19:53:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4509 A recording of Gilad Bracha's talk on "The Newspeak Programming Language" (Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Potsdam, March 11, 2008) is now online at http://www.tele-task.de/page50_lecture3490.html Best, Robert Robert Hirschfeld 2008-04-19T19:06:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4508 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Participation *** Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2008 *** May 15-16, 2008 Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Important dates ] * Early registration: April 20, 2008 * S3 workshop: May 15-16, 2008 [ Program ] * 3 invited talks * 6 technical papers * http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/program/ [ Invited speakers ] * Ian Piumarta (Viewpoints) * Dan Ingalls (Sun Labs) * Richard P.

While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications.

Was this part of the lambda papers or did this come up earlier? Was the style used before it got that name? Thanks a lot in advance for any hints... Pascal Pascal Costanza 2007-11-29T20:20:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4490 An interactive tutorial for uCalc Language Builder is now available. It will walk you through various concepts and allow you to experiment as you go along. In addition to that, this beta now comes with a full help file for uCalc LB and one for the Interactive Interpreter. If you have downloaded previous betas of uCalc LB, and couldn't figure it out, then you should download this one. With the included help files and interactive tutorial, it should now be significantly easier to understand how to make use of uCalc LB. The fully functional download includes the following: * uCalc Language Builder component * Interactive interpreter (which can also run script files) * Interactive instructional tutorial * Interpreted versions of Lisp, Forth, BASIC, and more * Line-by-line explanation files to accompany source code files * Help files for uCalc LB and uCalc Interpreter The file to download is _http://www.ucalc.com/beta/lbnov07b.zip_ (http://www.ucalc.com/beta/lbnov07b.zip) .

An HTML version will be available shortly. The editors have asked me to include the following statement. The editors would like to make the following suggestion to the steering committee and, by extension, the Scheme community. Among the differences between the R6RS and its predecessors, the sheer size of the report is the most obvious. This difference can be explained by the primary goal that drove the R6RS effort, which was to enable a new level of portability among Scheme implementations. Given that goal, many language constructs that implementations supply out of practical necessity---including modules, records, expressive macro systems, byte vectors, hash tables, and exceptions---fell under the purview of the new report, instead of individual implementations. The result is a significantly larger report. The expanded sc Mitchell Wand 2007-09-28T17:49:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4488 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. Pascal Costanza 2007-09-03T12:27:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4487 According to the Scheme Charter, at the end of the review process, the Steering Committee could choose either to finalize the submitted draft or to restart the review process. In order to be sure that the new revised Scheme standard enjoyed wide support among the Scheme community, the Steering Committee adopted a procedure in which there would be a vote on the question of whether the draft should be ratified, and they agreed to be bound by the results of that vote. 112 people registered to vote on the question. 102 of those electors cast their ballots before the poll closed on 12 August 2007. 67 electors voted to ratify draft 5.97 as R6RS. 35 electors were opposed to ratification. Thus 65.7% of those who voted, voted in favor of ratification. This is more than the 60% required for ratification. The Steering Committee therefore ratifies the draft numbered 5.97 as the official "Revised6 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme".
