Lang .NET 2008 Symposium is a forum for discussion on programming languages, managed execution environments, compilers, multi-language libraries, and integrated development environments. This conference provides an excellent opportunity for Programming Language Implementers and Researchers from both industry and academia to meet and share their knowledge, experience, and suggestions for future research and development in the area of programming languages.

Why Attend

  • If you are a language designer, compiler writer, or tool builder in industry or academia, Lang.NET 2008 is a unique opportunity to directly interact with the architects of Microsoft language platforms.
  • Microsoft language technologist will be very active participants in the conference while at least 50% of the
    program is reserved for presentations
    by non-Microsoft employees.
  • Each day is concluded with a
    panel debate. In the evenings
    there will be ample opportunity
    for networking during the
    social events and dinners.

Program

The conference program will focus on the pragmatics and experience of designing languages, implementing compilers, and building language tools that target managed execution platforms such as the DLR, .NET CLR and other implementations of the ECMA CLI.

  • How to get real programming tools into the hands of real programmers to solve real problems
  • How researchers and practitioners can learn from each other to make this happen.
