I am excited about the fact that as of today, Julien and me will be working for the LAMP (the Programming Methods Laboratory) here at the EPFL. We will be doing paid work (as opposed to academic work) on the Scala Compiler. I won't reveal what we will be working on right now, since I prefer to first become comfortable with the compiler's code base and as soon as we have actual results, I will present them to you. For now, suffice to say that our work is funded by Microsoft, so you might already guess what we are supposed to do :)
