Lightweight Languages 4 at MIT December 4, 2004

I heartily recommend the Lightweight Languages 4 conference at the new Strata center at MIT on December 4. It is free (but it helps to register in advance at the above web site) and does have Python content. My son and I attended LL1, but missed LL2 and LL3, and now we will attend LL4. At LL1, some of the content was way above our heads (especially above my head) but we both still learned an awful lot.

I hope I see some of you there! If so, say hello to me, I'll be wearing a name badge

As the LL4 web site states:

LL4 will be an intense, exciting, one-day forum bringing together the best programming language implementors and researchers, from both academia and industry, to exchange ideas and information, to challenge one another, and to learn from one another.

The workshop series focuses on programming languages, tools, and processes that are usable and useful. Lightweight languages have been an effective vehicle for introducing new features to mainstream programmers.
