          Tuesday, April 24, 2001, 1:00-2:30pm
     NE43 (545 Technology Square) 8th floor playroom
          (Refreshments at 12:45pm)

Announcing the second panel in the Dynamic Languages Wizards Series.
The April 24th panel will focus on compilation of dynamic languages.
Each panelist has played a major role in the design and implementation
of at least one dynamic language, and 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.

* Tuesday, April 24: Compile time
    Will Clinger (Sun, Northeastern)
    Dave Detlefs (Sun)
    Mat Hostetter (Curl)
