Subject: [Lisp-announce] Next week: Stuart Sierra - The Expression Problem
Hello Lispers,
Please join us Tuesday, August 9th at 7pm for our monthly meeting.
Direct from UeberConf, Stuart Sierra will speak about Clojure and the
Expression Problem.
---
What is the Expression Problem? The question is far from academic: any
programmer working in mainstream object-oriented languages is bound to
encounter it. As a young language on the JVM, Clojure has the
opportunity to step back from mainstream approaches to object-oriented
design, and get back to core concepts like type and polymorphism. As a
Lisp, Clojure can offer features to achieve the goals of OOP with far
greater flexibility than a traditional Object Oriented language ever
could.
Stuart Sierra is an actor/writer/coder who lives in New York City. He
is a member of the Clojure/core team at Relevance, Inc. Stuart is the
co-author of Practical Clojure (Apress, 2010). He received an M.S. in
Computer Science from Columbia University and a B.F.A. in Theatre from
New York University.

The meeting will be at Meetup HQ, 632 Broadway, 3rd floor. Pizza and
beer (and soft drinks) provided, courtesy of Meetup. RSVP at
http://www.meetup.com/LispNYC/events/17577440/.
RSVPing is not strictly required but is politely requested, as the
amount of pizza will be determined by the number of members who RSVP.
