The Juice home page is
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~juice/
The inventor of Slim Binaries is Michael Franz, whose PhD thesis on
the subject is available from
ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/publications/dissertations/th10497.ps.gz
The crucial point here that makes "Uncol" an utterly inappropriate stick
to beat Slim Binaries with is that they aren't universal. You need a
_different_ Slim Binary format for each different language. To translate
Ada to Juice format, for example, would not just be as hard has source
translation to Oberon, it would _be_ source translation to Oberon. This
is both a strength and a weakness, but then, what isn't?
