Announcing the final panel in the Dynamic Languages Wizards Series!
The May 10th panel will focus on the design of dynamic languages.
Each of the following panelists has played a major role in the design
and implementation of at least one dynamic language.
* Paul Graham
* John Maeda
* Jonathan Rees
* Guy Steele
Each panelist will address the following five points:
1. Guiding philosophy
2. Open problems, future directions
3. Little known secrets
4. Good ideas that have been dropped but whose time has now come
5. Pitfalls / gotchas
Part of each session will be dedicated to questions from the
audience. This will be an incredible opportunity to quiz these
luminaries about their design aesthetics and implementation tricks.
** For those of you unable to attend in person, we plan to webcast

This series is presented as part of the graduate course 6.894,
