I noticed that all students that learned with that TA (Junia) became much better Java programmers than the rest of us. And they also learned PLT Scheme. This has two consequences: (1) It will be very easy for PLT to add an infix syntax, since well it already has a couple of them; of course, one must provide compilation facilities for the infix syntax and means of using both syntaxes in the same program, à la Gambit; (2)  People can follow Junia's example and use PLT Scheme to teach Java. --- On Tue, 11/10/09, Matthias Felleisen <matthias@ccs.neu.edu> wrote: <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> From: Matthias Felleisen <matthias@ccs.neu.edu> Subject: Re: [plt-scheme] Re: Poacher turned gamekeeper To: "wooks" <wookiz@hotmail.com> Cc: plt-scheme@list.cs.brown.edu Received: Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 6:00 AM <div class="plainMail"> On Nov 10, 2009, at 2:51 AM, wooks wrote: > As I said, there will be a 2nd course in OOP and at the moment I am > scheduled to take that. The simple answer to objectors is that they'll > do Java next term (although I am tempted to do it in Python). I am about to teach this in PLT for the first time. I'll point to lecture notes when I have them. -- Matthias _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: <a href="http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme" target="_blank">http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme</a> </div></blockquote></td></tr></table> <hr size=1>Be smarter than spam.
