These days, dynamic languages (like Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Lua, etc
) are getting ever more popular. This is a call to arms for academia! We need to explore the future of dynamic languages through its human aspects and technical issues. We also ought to look back and pick up solutions from existing dynamic languages (such as Scheme, Smalltalk, or Self) to be rediscovered and spread around. <br><br>Goal and Topics <br><br>The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss dynamic languages and their applications. Topics of interest include any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic languages: Ruby, Python, Groovy, JavaScript, Lua, Clojure, Lisp, Scheme, Smalltalk, Self, ABCL, Prolog, and many more

other exotic dynamic features <br><br>Submissions <br><br>The workshop will have a demo-oriented style. The idea is to allow participants to demonstrate new and interesting features and discuss what they feel is relevant for the dynamic language community. <br>Participants need to submit a 24 page position paper of their work in ACM, sig-alternate.cls format. At the workshop, participants will be asked to give 10-minute lightning demos of their contributions. <br><br>Submission page is <a href="https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=dyla10">https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=dyla10</a> <br><br>Organizers <br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Alexandre Bergel, Univ of Chile, <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Carl Friedrich Bolz, Heinrich-Heine-Univ, Dόsseldorf, Germany <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Simon Denier, INRIA Lille, France <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Michael Haupt, HPI Potsdam, Germany <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Adrian Kuhn, Univ of Bern, Switzerland <br><br>Program Committee <br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Tom Dinkelaker, Technische Univ Darmstadt, Germany <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Johan Fabry, Univ of Chile <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Matthew Flatt, Univ of Utah, USA <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Stephan Herrmann, TU Berlin, Germany <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Abram Hindle, Univ of Waterloo, Canada <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Kasper Lund, Google, Denmark. <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Michael Perscheid, HPI Potsdam, Germany <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Rodolfo Toledo, Univ of Chile <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Niko Schwarz, Univ of Bern, Switzerland <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Peter Sommerlad, HSR Rapperswil, Switzerland <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Alessandro Warth, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Vadim Zaytsev, Univ of Koblenz, Germany <br><br>For further information, please visit our website or follow us on twitter <br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><a href="http://bit.ly/dyla2010">http://bit.ly/dyla2010</a> <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><a href="http://twitter.com/dyla2010">http://twitter.com/dyla2010</a><br><br><div><br>--<br>Simon<br><br><br></div></body></html>
