Mario is the author of OSS Lambdaj which brings functional
programming and closures to java, and the Hammurabi Scala
rule engine.<br>

Mario initially will be focusing on improving the end user
experience of the core engine, specifically in authoring
DRL. Below is a list of areas he'll be responsible for,
during his first 6 months. Of course he isn't limited to
just those :)<br>
<ul>
<li>Improved syntax error reporting</li>
<li>Killing all parser bugs and also expression and action
evaluation bugs.<br>
</li>
<li>Better masking of the underlying execution engine
(MVEL leaks too much)</li>
<li>Helping us move to a single language (no more
dialects).</li>
<li>Micro benchmarking so we can better track performance
and memory regressions</li>
<li>ASM bytecode compilation so we can reduce our
dependency on JDT over time, which is too heavy. ASM
will allow a more runtime JIT approach to expressions
and actions.</li>
<li>Maintaining the Eclipse DRL editor.</li>
<li>Help with future DRL design discussions especially on
functional programming.</li>
</ul>
More importantly this allows core maintenance to be spread
across more people, which gives Edson and myself more time
to do research so we can innovate faster. </div>
