My apologies for late replies. Let's do October 17th.
What I lost and gained going from Lisp to OCaml
This talk will discuss my experience going from Lisp to OCaml: where did the types help? where did they get in the way? What kind of metaprogramming do I miss? What kind of metaprogramming is still possible? The techniques I will use as examples will be specific to a mostly-pure-functional programming model for distributed programming with monotonic data structures. But the ideas at stake are more widely applicable.
François-René Rideau is a long-time Lisper and notably rewrote multiple times and maintained for a decade the ASDF build system for Common Lisp. Formerly Senior Engineer at ITA Software, he also worked at Google and Bridgewater, and is now Co-Founder and CEO of a Startup that publishes a language for Blockchain Decentralized Applications (DApps), Mutual Knowledge Systems < https://mukn.io/ >

Yes, we're looking at October, either 5th or 17th (but I still must find
out when I'll be away so we'll have a definite date shortly).

How does the end of September 26th sound for everyone? Make Thursdays around 7 the default?

Dear Jonathan and Boston Lispers, if you're looking for speakers, I volunteer to give a variant ofmy
LambdaConf 2019 speech "Building Distributed Applications inOCaml",
on what I gained and what I lost by going from Lisp to OCaml. I am available in the second halves of September and October, and probably the first halves of November and December. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder. — Gilbert K.
