I've also proposed an agenda. Several people yesterday said they might be interested in knowing about how Lisp is used in EDA, Electronic Design Automation. I'll be happy to show some of the interesting features of SKILL (a lisp dialect) which I use at my job.
That would be great.
SKILL, an uncommon lisp
* Some cool features * Similarities and differences from CL * Common Lisp-like extensions to SKILL * A very opinionated and probably objectionable view of CLOS (I think it should be).
A CLOS discussion would be nice to have. I remember some other people mentioning they've never come around to dive into it. I'm a bit uncertain about your stance (some native speaker connotaions might have been lost), are you pro or con CLOS? Can someone else defend the other position?
May I suggest we meet on 27 January at 19h00? The same location would be great, if we can reserve the room again.
After 18:00 the room is basically always available.
A better room would be easier to get after 7th of February (semester ends then). Of course the rather warm climate of Z11 (named Takla-Makan) makes it all more chummy, and I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone.
