The second Annual Symposium on Pliant Implementation and Concepts will be held in Paris in March or April 2001. If you are interrested in, please email pom@ehess.fr
The scope will be the same as the one of the last year (see ASPIC 2000) and we hope the second edition will be a bit less "confidential"...
Compiling is not equivalent to eval:
Once you have compiled something (a new function,
a new data type or whatever) on the fly, you don't have to compile it again: each time you will use it, you will have the speed of a fully compiled language.
# Instead of if/else, you may use "shunt"
# which is a kind of mixture of if/eif/.../eif/else
# and the C ?:
function beer n
arg Int n
# unwrap allows to wrap on multiple lines
var Str message:= unwrap shunt
n=0 "No more bottles of beer on the wall."
n=1 "One bottle of beer on the wall."
string:n+" bottles of beer on the wall."
console message eol
if n>0
console "Take one down, pass it around." eol
Intellectual property is not transferable under European laws. Is it an habit for US citizen to consider US law to be the only one in the world and US constitution to be the only acceptable one ?
