Clementson's Blog: Vancouver Lisp Users Group meeting for August 2007

Vancouver Lisp Users Group meeting for August 2007 - JazzScheme

Saturday, July 28, 2007

For our August lispvan meeting, Guillaume Cartier will be giving a presentation on JazzScheme.

Here's the "official" meeting notice:

Topic: JazzScheme
Presenter: Guillaume Cartier
Date: Wednesday, August 8, 2007
Time: 7pm - 10pm (or whenever)
Venue: Think!, 4512 West 10th Ave., Vancouver (see map)
Summary: JazzScheme is an open source programming language based on Scheme. It includes a full featured development platform and a sophisticated programmable IDE. JazzScheme borrows ideas from the following languages:

Scheme for its clean design and flexibility
Common Lisp for its rich library and many great concepts
Java for its simple object system (but adds many missing features)
Visual Basic (yes even VB!) for its rapid development environment

JazzScheme supports in a unified and coherent approach the following paradigms:

Functional programming
Generic programming
Object-oriented programming
Interface-oriented programming
Dynamic programming
Static programming

The platform has been used for more than 10 years by MetaScoop as a proprietary tool to develop high-quality commercial applications. Recently, MetaScoop announced that it is releasing JazzScheme as an open source project. In addition, the JazzScheme Kernel is being ported from C++ to Scheme (with Gambit Schme being the first target implementation) so that the Jazz language will become both Scheme compliant and multi-platform.

Join us for what promises to be a very interesting presentation and demo by Guillaume Cartier, the developer of JazzScheme.
