I am a professor of computer science at LRE (EPITA Research Laboratory). My research interests include software engineering, programming languages, document engineering and digital typesetting. I give lectures on Object Orientation, Functional Programming, and Typesetting (formerly, also Operating Systems and Computer Graphics).
I am the president of the European Lisp Symposium steering committee, and serve or have served as a Steering / Programme Committee member or chair in many conferences (DocEng, DLS, SAC, Onward!, ICCQ, COP, FARM, etc.).
I am also a free software advocate. I was one of the core maintainers of XEmacs for more than 15 years, a contributor to many Emacs Lisp libraries, and author of several LaTeX packages and Common Lisp libraries. I maintain Quickref, the largest Lisp libraries documentation platform.
Aside from Computer Science, I am also a semi-professional Jazz musician (3 albums) and a certified Aikido instructor. I give coaching sessions on the theme “Aikido and Conflict Management” for large companies.

A refinement to the Knuth-Plass algorithm for better handling of adjacency discrepancies.
An extension to the Knuth-Plass algorithm for handling homeoarchies and homeoteleutons.
A new, portable, and extensible implementation for Common Lisp's method combinations based on the Meta-Object Protocol.
An essay about the deep relationships between a programming, a musical, and a physical language.
A new version of Clon , the Common Lisp / Command-Line Options Nuker, is out.
This release fully qualifies the demo programs with a
net.didierverna.clon.demo prefix. This avoids polluting global namespaces
and makes Quickref find Clon’s primary system correctly.
A new version of Clon , the Common Lisp / Command-Line Options Nuker, is out.
This version makes the termio subsystem loadable on its own, which is
required for Quicklisp to setup up its meta-data properly (thanks to Jake
Connor).
As previously announced, I have released the first Quickref version compatible with Declt 4.0 (which is now at beta 2) and which is going to keep track of the development over there. Because Declt 4 is currently considered in beta state, so is Quickref 4 for the time being.
