 I work primarily on the  <a href = http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/projects/cecil/www/cecil-home.html><i>Cecil project</i></a>.    Cecil is a new pure object-oriented langauge that we are using as a vehicle for integrated research in the areas of language design, programming environments, and optimizing compiler techniques.  We intend for our techniques to scale to large, real-world programs, and to keep ourselves true to this goal, we're implementing the Vortex compiler in Cecil.  We currently have about 70,000 lines of Cecil code in the compiler.    <P>
