Had 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.



See also Atomo: http://vito.github.io/atomo/

And 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.


I wish Lee were still around. I miss working with him and appreciate him putting up with me.


Looks like he's still active.

Damn, that's new to me. He resisted joining github until recently, it seems...
