[self-interest] Re: Uses of self

[Stephen De Gabrielle]

Thanks David,

Is the (hopefully) next great language called Korz? (great name by the way)

I started reading the slides for the SPASH presentation, but stopped when I
got out of my depth. (I think I need to do a little background reading on
AOP).

I'm still keen to find out where it is used for teaching, education &
industry. I suspect it is, but in much the same was as the
Lisps/Schemes/Rackets are 'secret alien technology' (barski).

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Kind regards,

Stephen
