On Zamehnof and event processing

Today, December 15th is Zamenhof's day. Zamenhof is the inventor of the Esperanto language, his idea was simple: create a universal language, with very simple grammar and spelling and no spelling and grammar exceptions. While there are several millions of Esperanto fans, it has not become the universal language, and we still speak in many languages and dialects. There are street named after Zamenhof in many of the cities in Israel, not that there are so many Esperanto speakers, but somehow famous Jewish people get priority in streets names (in Haifa Zamenhof street is near Einstein street - another famous Jewish person).

Like natural languages, in event processing we have many languages, and languages styles (when preparing the course I am teaching now I realized that there are more styles than I've realized, next class we'll discuss it in class, showing examples from all the different products participating in the EPIA book's website).

I share Zamenhof's dream to get to a universal language, but this may take time (maybe infinity), worth trying to invent the event processing Esperanto.
