It gives me great
pleasure to announce that Mario Fusco will be joining the
Drools team to work on the core engine in August.
Mario is the author of OSS Lambdaj which brings functional
programming and closures to java, and the Hammurabi Scala
rule engine.

Mario initially will be focusing on improving the end user
experience of the core engine, specifically in authoring
DRL. Below is a list of areas he'll be responsible for,
during his first 6 months. Of course he isn't limited to
just those :)
- Improved syntax error reporting
- Killing all parser bugs and also _expression_ and action
evaluation bugs.
- Better masking of the underlying execution engine
(MVEL leaks too much)
- Helping us move to a single language (no more
dialects).
- Micro benchmarking so we can better track performance
and memory regressions
- ASM bytecode compilation so we can reduce our
dependency on JDT over time, which is too heavy. ASM
will allow a more runtime JIT approach to expressions
and actions.
- Maintaining the Eclipse DRL editor.
- Help with future DRL design discussions especially on
functional programming.
More importantly this allows core maintenance to be spread
across more people, which gives Edson and myself more time
to do research so we can innovate faster.
