Hello JVMers, Several talks at Strange Loop this year that you might be interested in: Attila will be talking about his dynamic linker framework, there is a Mirah for Android talk, metaprogramming for Java, Andrey Breslav from JetBrains talking further about some new stuff coming out at the JVM Language Summit, Rich Hickey, Gerald Sussman, etc etc. Full schedule below. Hoping this isn't too spammy... no further posts this year!
