Dear all, in an effort to minimize my workload, I am trying to shed some of the less meaningful responsibilities of mine ;-) (this is actually meant seriously) As of now, I decline from serving on Mozart's board.
Anyhow, Oz and Mozart have been a thrilling ride while they lasted! I ever more so grew disappointed with the lack of actual backing by people who got quite some leverage on Oz's and Mozart's popularity. Unfortunately, opening up to the community has been equally unsuccesful (so far, that is). Before I do disappear from these lists, I'd like to rectify a misconception about Oz and Mozart and research in programming systems in general: I do consider Oz and Mozart a tremendous success, not because there are lots of people who use the language and system. I rather consider it a success as the research behind both has managed to establish important ideas in the scientific community, very likely to outlive the actual language and system! Still, after more than a decade of work on Oz and Mozart I am still amazed what all of us (most definitely including the users) did achieve! And yes, I am very proud to have been part of this. And very much yes, on to the next system!
