Stéphane Ducasse
Research director at Inria. He leads the EVREF team.
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 and Fortress languages. I'm one of the founders of Pharo , a new pure open-source object language inspired by Smalltalk. I head its industry consortium. I'm one of the designers of Moose, an analysis platform. I was one of the founders of Synectique, a company offering dedicated analysis tools.
I have written several books on language-related subjects and other topics such as learning to program and web programming: some are available at https://books.pharo.org. I co-constructed a highly acclaimed Moocs on Pharo and object programming: https://pharo-moocs.pharo.org.
I regularly work with companies such as Arolla, Berger-Levrault, Thales, Framatome, Siemens, CIM, Worldline.
I'm interested in understanding how to solve their challenges.
