What sort of features have they agreed to further implement or refine? I suspect something like this is in their grant contract.
Note that, like all EU money, the Scala people will have to fund themselves and then a year or so later would they actually see the check.
- Dn_Ab 16y agoIt has to do with making parallel programming more palpable. See http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4178 http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4178
- jacquesm 16y agoThe article says this: "A paper by Odersky states that the EU funding will mainly be provided for the definition of domain-specific languages (DSLs) in libraries." and refers to this blog post: http://www.scala-lang.org/node/8579 http://www.scala-lang.org/node/8579 Is that the same thing?
- Dn_Ab 16y agoI do believe so as the technique that Scala seeks to utilize to tackle parallel programming "is to use "language virtualization", combining polymorphic embeddings with domain-specific optimizations in a staged compilation process.". --------------- This thread's article has: "Over the next five years the group of developers working at Switzerland's EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) will be receiving €2.3 million from the European Research Council." The LMTU thread links to the blog post you mention above which contains: "The Scala research group at EPFL is excited to announce that they have won a 5 year European Research Grant of over 2.3 million Euros to tackle the "Popular Parallel Programming" challenge. This means that the Scala team will nearly double in size to pursue a truly promising way for industry to harness the parallel processing power of the ever increasing number of cores available on each chip." Basically they all point to the same place.
