Slides from LASER 2012

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

I've had the honor of rubbing shoulders for a week at 
http://laser.inf.ethz.ch/2012/ with Roberto Ierusalimschy, Ivar 
Jacobson, Erik Meijer, Bertrand Meyer, Martin Odersky, Simon 
Peyton-Jones, and Guido van Rossum. It was awesome, and I got many good 
tips on how to grow our community.

In particular, I've enjoyed a few good discussions with Simon and Martin 
about D's approach to doing things. In particular, Martin has been quite 
impressed with our approach to purity and immutability. We are 
considering a collaboration with one of his students on a paper to 
formalize the approach and possibly adapt it to Scala.

So, these are the slides I've used (though of course they don't tell 
much of the story).
