Lambda the Ultimate

The program and abstracts for LL4 are available, including a presentation by LtU's own Anton van Straaten on reconciling REST and continuations. (Here's hoping LL4 will be webcast as in previous years.)

A nice blogpost from Ian Bicking.

Jon Udell's interview with Ward Cunningham and Jack Greenfield might help understand Microsoft's methodology of software factories and DSLs.

The interview is available as a 54 minute MP3 file. The notion of language as abstraction mechanism and explanation of the part played by DSLs appear towards the second half of the conversation.
