Bio

Eugene Burmako believes that metaprogramming can be applied to mainstream programming in a safe and disciplined way. Since fall 2011, as a member of the Scala team and Martin Odersky's PhD student, he's realizing this vision in the Scala macros project. Before joining EPFL he was experimenting with metaprogramming for CLR.
