Jon Udell: Multi-language runtimes

Not a technical perspective, but one that might be important none the less,

First, will Sun help the Java VM realize its multi-language potential? Second, will the dominant .NET VM for non-Windows platforms be a Microsoft product (WPF/E) or an open source project (Mono)?

McBride Derivative paper

Having stumbled across Brzozowski's paper on partial derivatives of regex's I went looking for similar papers and have found manay mentions of McBride's The Derivative of a Regular Type is its Type of One-Hole Contexts, often with a URL.

Unfortunately, all these references I've found so far are 404 links that seem to be assorted misspellings and minor variations of http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dcs1ctm/diff.ps (which is itself 404). Anyone have a good link to this paper, or even just a softcopy?
