- jarmitage 11y agoHere's a presentation from a few VPRI researchers from June 2015: Introduction and Overview - Alan Kay 2D Rendering (Gezira & Nile) - 17:05 - Dan Amelang Domain-Specific Languages (OMeta) - 34:20 - Alessandro Warth Imperative & Declarative Programming (Programming as Planning, Executable Specifications) - 59:38 - Hesam Samimi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAT4iewOHDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAT4iewOHDs
- Dav3xor 11y agoOne could say Alan Kay is still around, much like one could say giant redwood and sequoia trees are 'still around'. Always glad to see someone discover one of the greats. :) (edit) Oh wait, you probably already knew he existed. Tried to read too much into your post.
- david927 11y agoIt's still strange wording. It's like saying Beethoven was 'still around' in the 1810's. I don't know of a more prestigious group working on a more important area than CDG.
- endergen 11y agoI believe Alan Kay is now running an open research group out sponsored by SAP. I think it includes smarties like Bret Victor and Vi Hart.
