Hi Jack, ... First of all, there is a short paper outlining how to do this in a generic way. See http://tunes.org/~eihrul/pmd.pdf. However, this paper does not...
Very cool. How do you handle argument positions that don't have "@", i. e., wild- card positions? Is it (or do you see it as) a typical programming practice to...
Hello again, ... Dispatching is an annotation that you put on objects to refer to that method at a particular (role, selector) pair. So if an argument-position...

I am in the middle of reading Bawden's paper and have come to where he starts to talk about state, saying that the viewpoint of linear graph reduction sheds...
at present I am designing a language which I am unsure whether it is even really scheme anymore, or whether I should try to keep it as scheme... largely it is...

ColdStore had something a little like this for C++ -- it used a BTree for the implementation and you could pass a locality hint to the new operator. Take a...
