[Ometa] Relationship to Roy/Haridi's book

[Andrey Fedorov]

I've been reading Roy and Haridi's "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of
Computer Programming", and the intuition behind the book seems to
significantly align with what OMeta and VPRI's "Fundamental New Computing
Technologies" seem to advocate. In particular, the book goes about
introducing the reader to various "kernel" languages, which are what I think
Alan Kay referred to as "crystallizations of style" [1].

Ian: is any of your work on OMeta influenced by this book, or do you share a
common influence with the authors?

Or am I just imagining the relationship?
