ELS'15 - 8th European Lisp Symposium
Goldsmiths College, London, UK
April 20-21, 2015
http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/
Sponsored by EPITA, Franz Inc. and Lispworks Ltd.
Recent news:
- *** Submission deadline extended to March 1st ***
- Invited speakers announced: Zach Beane, Bodil Stokke, Martin Cracauer
- Registration to open early March
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, Hop and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
The 8th European Lisp Symposium invites high quality papers about
novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications and educational perspectives. We also encourage
submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new
setting and/or in a highly elegant way.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Language design and implementation
- Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
- Development methodologies, support and environments
- Educational approaches and perspectives
- Experience reports and case studies
We invite submissions in the following forms:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 8 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations
about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to
180 minutes.
The symposium will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be
registered on-site every day.
All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more

I'm on the list. But I've not been in Seattle since 2007, and the last
time I remember attempting to do something with a lisp community was in a
similar time period. I remember there being some guy who had worked on a
lisp distro packaging technology, me getting on his mailing list, and me
getting kicked off his mailing list. I probably said something about how I
thought a packaging system should work.

It's still sad.
Actually I say I'm designing my own language now, something "better than
assembly code". But not much progress lately.
As of a few years ago, my assessment of the Common Lisp universe was that
anyone who once had the energy for standards, promotion, adoption, etc. is
now too old, and past their generational energy, to bother with such
things. New generations learn their own things, and although they may use
many design ideas of lisp, they're just not going to use Common Lisp for
the most part. For instance, Julia claims some lisp ancestry.

Am I the only human left on this list? That would be rather sad.
According to the mailman list interface, this is the first post to the
list, so it wouldn't surprise me.
