Bio

David Chase works in the Programming Languages Research Group. Most of his time is spent on HPCS work; some of that takes the form of short notes. Chase is a big fan of language safety and high performance. He feels HPCS presents interesting problems in the design of "virtual machines" (interpreted generally, not narrowly) that hide and/or abstract away failure.

The 2008 JVM Language Summit is an open technical collaboration among language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime engineers, and VM architects. The talks inform the audience, in detail, about the state of the art of language design and implementation on the JVM, and the present and future capabilities of the JVM itself.
