> Dynamically typed programming languages were once seen as slow,  
> unreliable,
> and suitable only for small throw-away tasks. However, their  
> ability to aid
> rapid systems development and to facilitate the pervasive, mobile, and
> frequently updated systems that are increasingly in demand in the  
> modern
> world has led to their stock rising considerably.
>
> While developers are ever keen to find out more about the details  
> of dynamic
> programming languages, managers are interested in finding out how  
> they can
> complement existing approved languages without diluting their  
> organizations'
> technical focus.
>
> We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to dynamic
> programming languages. Topics of interest include:
>
>   * Dynamic programming languages "in use".
>   * Organizations' experiences in integrating dynamic programming  
> languages
>     into their existing language menagerie.
>   * Experiences of and techniques for using dynamic programming  
> languages
>     effectively (including efficiency and scalability concerns).
>   * How dynamic programming languages have evolved and how they might
>     develop in the future.
>   * New techniques in challenging areas such as metaprogramming,  
> reflection,
>     dynamic reconfigurability, and mobility.
