Dear Boston Lispers,
are you still meeting once in a while? Who's the best person to organize a meeting? At MIT? At NorthEastern? At Harvard? At $BIG_COMPANY?
I'd like to come in November and give a talk. Potential topics:
* First-Class Implementations — my resurrected PhD thesis, same topic I presented at BostonHaskell in May 2016, with updates. * Better Stories, Better Languages + Software Creationism vs Software Evolutionism — topics I presented many times in the past, recently improved for LambdaConf 2017 and Salon des Refusés 2017. * ASDF 3.3 and/or Bazelisp — if the public is mostly Common Lispers, they might want to hear about CL build systems. * Gerbil Scheme — vyzo's recently open-sourced Scheme implementation, that I have adopted, which has Racket-like macros and modules on top of Gambit, plus actors, objects, etc.
My schedule is somewhat flexible, so first, let's find an organizer.
