I've heard from most of you, and most can do either day, with some conflicting
preferences. One person can't meet Saturday, so let's plan to meet on Sunday.
Here in 303 (unless someone else has a better idea of a place conducive to good
thinking, but also has a whiteboard), at 1pm till 4 or 5. OK?
More research ideas that we've been batting around for a while:
How to make multiple languages interoperate well (not just
least-common-denominator semantics, and not via copying of all data across
language boundaries, and not inefficiently)?
How to make compilers extensible by their users with new optimizations?
Advanced software often has special idioms that people would like to write in
their programs, but they often can't count on the compiler's built-in
optimizations recognizing and optimizing the pattern. How can users get control
and specify optimizations? This might be coupled with how users can extend
their language with new features/syntactic sugars for these idioms, and extend
with new kinds of checks to ensure that application-specific invariants are
being respected.
