Larry O'Brien's Alternate Programming Languages BOF is happening later tonight. There was some scheduling confusion, in case anyone is wondering where/when: it's at 11pm tonight in room 406AB. Here's the BOF abstract:

C# is super and VB .NET is invaluable, but it's been argued that the greatest benefit of .NET is the level field it provides for programming languages both familiar and exotic. This session brings together language enthusiasts and implementers in a casual atmosphere to discuss and demonstrate both existing languages and works-in-progress. Does the runtime help or hinder particular programming types? Is anyone using alternate languages in production? And, is it possible for us to perform an impromptu interop-a-thon: F# -> Eiffel -> Haskell -> Python -> Fortran -> Smalltalk -> ... ?

If you're at the show, see if Smalltalk gets a mention.
