Performance is important, so people don’t normally think of using Java, let alone a more dynamic language. Fabric is a game that was developed by one person with JMonkeyEngine and the Kawa language. It is an immersive 3-D multiplayer role-playing game with distinctive features. JMonkeyEngine is a pure Java scene-graph-based game engine. Kawa is a mature Scheme-based language with good Java integration and high performance. All Fabric-specific code is in Kawa. This session demonstrates unique Fabric features made possible by Kawa and JMonkeyEngine and touches on Kawa’s advantages and limitations compared to alternatives, especially Clojure and ABCL. Monday 5:30pm-6:30pm Holiday Inn Golden Gate 6/7/8 I wouldn't object if you encourage your friends and co-workers to go :-) My "virtual" co-presenter is mikel evins, author of the Fabric game, which I'll be using for examples and demos. I'll be around much of Monday through Wednesday (haven't decided whether to go on Thursday). One of the perks of *not* working for Oracle is (unless I'm mistaken) that I get to go to the Treasure Island event (for the first time); it would be nice to have some company on the bus and at the event. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
