Announce: Fortress talk in New York City
Hello, There will be a talk on Fortress ( a new OO/Functional language from Sun) on Wednesday June 25 at 6:30pm in Manhattan. Abstract: The Java Programming Language revolutionized programming with two simple concepts: "Write once run anywhere", and Garbage Collection. This led to a big step up in programmer productivity. Project Fortress does it again. This time we give you multiprocessor performance without having to code threads, locks, or load balancing. Can you say "Implicit Parallelism" and "Transactional Memory"? We also give you a growable language (small fixed core), strong static typing (more errors caught at compile time), and mathematical notation. This talk will focus on the strengths of Fortress as a programming language, as well as a deep dive into implementation issues.

You send potentially confidential information to a public mailing list? Is this new language secret? :-)

I realise this is tongue-in-cheek...

.. but I'm not so sure about this. If this is a serious question, here are some links: http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/ http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/Publications/index.html http://projectfortress.sun.com/Projects/Community BTW, check out the crappy auto-appended disclaimer (over which I have no control) on this message. Makes Jeff's look positively appealing.

Let me assure the readers there's nothing confidential or privileged about Christine's talk! :-) It is, after all, an open source project. -Jan-Willem Maessen Project Fortress, Sun Microsystems Laboratories [who will be off teaching Fortress in Prague at the time]
