    ABOUT DLS
-------------------------------
The Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at ECOOP 2008 in Paphos, Cyprus,  
is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation  
and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk,  
Lisp, Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new  
converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as  
Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range  
of applications. DLS provides a place for researchers and  
practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience,  
and ideas for future research and development.
