IT researchers from the Inria Lille - Nord-Europe Research Centre are engaged in a strategy to get digital companies using opensource software. The Pharo programming language was the focus of attention from a wide range of scientists at a masterclass presented by Stéphane Ducasse, an internationally-renowned IT expert, and organised jointly by the Inria Academy and Inria in Chile.
Whether it’s communicating or sharing information and objects more quickly, producing and distributing energy more efficiently or offering new services tailored to meet individual needs, digital technology is having a radical impact on a wide range of sectors, opening up promising opportunities for innovation and development. Hidden behind the algorithms and lines of code employed in computing and digital technology, programming languages and software are fundamental components of this digital revolution. One such language is Pharo, which was presented to more than 80 attendees at a masterclass jointly organised by the Inria Academy and Inria Chile back in July (see inset). The masterclass was presented by Stéphane Ducasse, a director of research in IT and head of the Rmod team, who demonstrated what the tool has to offer using concrete examples.
**Rmod is a joint undertaking involving the Inria Lille - Nord-Europe Research Centre, the CNRS and the Cristal laboratory (the University of Lille).
