Slate development goes back many years. Perhaps sometimes you've got to let the field lay fallow for a season, before that next big burst of inspiration.

- cmrdporcupine 12y agoHad no idea this project was still active. Used to have some correspondence with an author (Lee Salzman) of the prototype oo multiple dispatch paper many years ago (over 10 now I guess), and had written my own implementation of it for a toy language of my own. Good to see this still ticking. Though these days I'm more interested in static typed languages, this is still very cool.
- briantrice 12y agoI wish Lee were still around. I miss working with him and appreciate him putting up with me.
- kenferry 12y agoLooks like he's still active. https://github.com/lsalzman?tab=activity https://github.com/lsalzman?tab=activity
- briantrice 12y agoDamn, that's new to me. He resisted joining github until recently, it seems...
- briantrice 12y agoSee also Atomo: http://vito.github.io/atomo/ http://vito.github.io/atomo/ And Atomy: http://vito.github.io/atomy/ http://vito.github.io/atomy/ Both of these, I feel, are interesting small offshoots that explore more in a pattern-matching metaprogrammable grammar direction, although they never became large visions or systems.
