I was taking a peek yesterday at last OOPSLA's paper by Craig Chambers,
and I suddenly got worried
for the first time about CLOS stagnating.
More precisely, before I wanted generic and predicate classes. Now I
want generic classes and predicate dispatching.
This last thing seeme really like it could catch on.
Would there be a compatible generalization of DEFMETHOD lambda lists or
we need another form?
Is there any place where one could do at least part-time CLOS research
while at the same time getting well paid?
(besides the obvious two of course ;-))
Or more generally, how to go about getting RedHat (or similar) money for
Lisp projects? (I don't dream too much about VC)
[Seems several people have gone into the same mode ;)]

You could try putting a proposal in at cosource and seein gif you can
persuade people here to cough up, but I doubt it'll raise th ekind of
money to keep you fed and clothed. (www.source.com).
For lists of jobs that mention Lisp work, have a look at the computists
lists (advertised in a post here the other day).

PS Could you give a pointer to something that explains the terms you
used to describe the CLOS extensions. Newbies like me would liek to
feed on the scraps...
