I'm working on a Scheme compiler in Javascript based on Dybvig's Three Sheme implementations paper. Some things work, others are broken. Maybe we can talk about what works and try to fix what's broken. :) //Sent from iPhone// On 2010-02-27, at 12:00 PM, toronto-lisp-request(a)common-lisp.net wrote: > Send toronto-lisp mailing list submissions to > toronto-lisp(a)common-lisp.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/toronto-lisp > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > toronto-lisp-request(a)common-lisp.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > toronto-lisp-owner(a)common-lisp.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of toronto-lisp digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi, everyone! I enjoyed the meeting in November and would love to join again. But since then I moved to Waterloo and what is more I do not have a car. So, I decided to ask everyone here - is there by any chance anyone coming to meetings from Waterloo and who wouldn't mind company of a lisp admirer? Thanks, Nikita
