isLoop 2025: International School on Live Object-Oriented Programming

3-7 February 2025 - Montpellier, France

We are happy to announce that once again, Pharo Consortium is organizing an international cost-free school on live object-oriented programming. You will learn about the key mechanisms and the essence of live programming and object-oriented design. Whether you are a beginner or an expert programmer, this school will be a unique immersive experience that will teach you to look at programming like you never did before. Our courses are built on more than 60 years of expert teaching object-oriented design.

Pay attention the places are limited because this is a cool school in a cool place.

Sebastian Jordan-Montaño (Sebas)

I am a PhD student working on memory profilers. I work at Inria, France in the Evref team.

I was one of the main developers of the pharo-ai project contributing and building different libraries for machine learning algorithms, statistical metrics, data preprocessing, and AI in general. At Inria, I also worked for 5 months as a Moose engineer mostly developing tools for Moose IDE project.

Ignacio Esteban Losiggio (Mega)

Student and Teaching Assistant at FCEyN UBA. Currently working on the Pharo VM researching efficient ways to do message dispatch. Previously Senior Engineer @ Salesforce, did dynamic code analysis @ Onapsis and was a maintainer of Huayra GNU/Linux. Curious developer. Bad piano player. I love to learn and talk about programming language implementations and history.

Oleksandr Zaitsev (Oleks)

I am a computer science researcher at CIRAD - a French agricultural research and international cooperation organization working for the sustainable development of tropical and Mediterranean regions. I work on software engineering and AI techniques for participatory agent-based modelling and serious games. In 2022, I defended my PhD at Inria Lille; my thesis was about data mining-based tools to support software evolution.

I contribute to many open-source projecs (Pharo, DataFrame, PolyMath, pharo-ai). I am currently the lead developer of the Cormas modelling platform.

Stéphane Ducasse (Stef)

I'm an expert in object design, object language design, reflective programming, and the maintenance and evolution of large applications (visualization, metrics, meta-modeling). My work on traits has been introduced in AmbientTalk, Slate, Pharo, Perl-6, PHP 5.4 and Squeak. They have been ported to JavaScript. It has influenced the Scala an Fortress languages.

I'm one of the founders of Pharo. I head its industry consortium http://consortium.pharo.org. I'm one of the designers of Moose, an analysis platform. I regularly work with companies such as Arolla, Berger-Levrault, Thales, Framatome, Siemens, CIM, Worldline to solve their challenges.
