I don't know all that much about it, but it seems like a good company. They sure have a lovely view of the Boston Harbor! I had no idea they were interested in Common Lisp! I'd love to know why, although that might be proprietary. My friend is probably too far from the techies to know. It would be nice to put this up on lispjobs.wordpress.com, if you don't find anybody yourself. -- Dan Dan Stanger wrote: > Hello All, > Following is a job description for a position at Eaton Vance.

I don't feel like rushing things so late in the game, so unless a surprise speaker is found on short notice, there won't be a Boston Lisp Meeting this August. But lo and behold, we have speakers for September and October. On Monday September 29th 2008, 1800, Rich Hickey will give a long talk on Clojure, his new Lisp dialect for the JVM, at the usual venue MIT 34-401B. Official announcement will follow later this month. In October (Monday 27th?), Tim McNerney will hopefully talk about his past work on verification of correctness of a compiler transformation pass through abstract interpretation.
