Help us get the word out to your fellow language designers

[Alex Payne]

Hi all,

Thanks for joining the group, and for agreeing to participate in our
event. Brady and I are still putting everything together, but it's all
coming along nicely. We've had some great responses from speakers
we've invited, and I'm eager to get the word out to the technical
community at large.

Here's a big way you can help out. We're still waiting on responses
from a handful of potential speakers/participants. You know how email
is: things get lost in the spam folder, or ignored, or whatnot. If you
know any of the following folks, please reach out to them and point
them at this group, or at our new website (still under construction),
http://emerginglangs.com/.

Language designers we're trying to reach, in no particular order:

- Tony Arcieri (Reia)
- Wolfgang De Meuter (AmbientTalk)
- Jeff Prothero (Mythryl)
- Giancarlo Niccolai (Falcon)
- Robert Virding (Lisp Flavored Erlang)
- Steve Folta (Trylon)
- Alex Eagle (Noop)
- Luke Hoban (F#)
- Rich Hickey (Clojure)
- Guy L. Steele Jr. (Fortress)
- Slava Pestov (Factor)
- Carl Sassenrath (REBOL)
- Arthur Whitney (K, Kdb, Q)
- John Nowak (5th, etc.)
- Christopher Bertels (Fancy)

Thanks much, and stay tuned for further updates!

Can be reached via re...@googlegroups.com, or I can pass on his email
address if you contact me off-list.

Have you considered inviting Mr. Jonathan Edwards?

I read his blog, but somehow he didn't make it onto my spreadsheet o'
potential attendees. Remedying that presently.

I've heard Slava is unavailable for Factor, but I'd be happy to give a
presentation about it. I've been using Factor since 2005, and have
worked on the design and implementation of the standard library and
several language features, as well as compiler improvements. I've
written some about what I've worked on at http://useless-factor.blogspot.com/.
I'd be really interested in talking about how Factor does
metaprogramming in a way that's compatible with an ahead-of-time
optimizing compiler, and also how Factor makes stack-based programming
practical for modern needs.

Slava actually expressed interest in attending and speaking today. It
would be great to have you both there.

I've been enjoying your blog!

Hi Alex,

Have you considered inviting Matthew Flatt, the creator of PLT Scheme
[1]? He has a lot of neat things to say about writing languages for
writing more languages [2], as well as a lot of other interesting
ideas.

sam th

[1] http://www.plt-scheme.org
[2] http://www.vimeo.com/6630691

[Alex Payne]

Great suggestion! Anyone know him or have an email for him?

[dpara]

mmh Mark Tarver?

Creator of Qi, Qi2 and the in development Shen?

http://www.lambdassociates.org/faq1.htm

[Alex Payne]

Great suggestion. I'll invite him.

[dmpk2k]

A lot of interesting people appear to have been invited. I note one
name missing I'd also like to show up: Mike Pall. While he's not a
language designer, he's done an impressive job with LuaJIT2; I think
he'd be of interest to anyone implementing a language.

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

How about Mark Miller? Designer of E, which is not intended for broad
use, but also the mastermind behind the security enhancements in the
latest javascript standard that have made it capability-secure...

[Alex Payne]

Mark Miller has been invited and has agreed to attend. Thanks for the
suggestion!

Please Do Invite :)

Essentially, you don't need the permission of us organizers to point
someone towards our event. We're nearing the limit of the number of
speakers we can admit, but we'd love to see more people in attendance
who want to participate in the freeform afternoon sessions.
