[closer-devel] New paper about ContextL

[Pascal Costanza]

Hi,

We have a new paper about ContextL at the forthcoming Joint Modular  
Languages Conference. We had to hand copyrights over to Springer  
Verlag, so I cannot publish it on my website for some time. But if  
anyone is interested, I can send you a copy.

The paper discusses the implementation strategy for ContextL and  
gives a first performance benchmark. We basically show that ContextL  
programs are more or less as efficient as regular CLOS programs. The  
paper may give you some ideas on how to use the CLOS MOP. (However,  
we plan to write a paper which gives more details in this regard.)

Warning: We have changed the Lisp syntax in that paper to a Java- 
style syntax to make it more accessible for a general audience. You  
sometimes have to jump through hoops. My plan is to publish an  
"uncensored" version of this paper sooner or later... ;)
