Dear all, We present to you a ChucK PhD thesis: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~gewang/thesis.html ... and, of significantly higher replay value, Perry's ChucKian anthem: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~prc/HackChuck.html Hearty and deep thanks to everyone in the ChucK community for your support, ideas, code, guidance, and encouragement so far!!! Also, we'd like note that this marks not an end but a new beginning for ChucK, and that research, development, crashing of ChucK and friends will continue in full - at Princeton, Stanford, and many other places. New features, new bugs, new applications, toolkits, approaches, ideas, improvements to the community development process, and new things we can't begin to predict are on the way! Thank you!! Happy ChucKing and keep on ChucKin'! Yours, Ge! (on behalf of ChucK team)
