A bit of a follow-up to the meetup, I posted on the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup:<div><br></div><div><span>The meetup was obviously a success. We had Gary Baumgartner make an appearance with 2-4 U of T Computer Science students. He mentioned some projects he had worked on and which are listed here: <a href="http://www.cs.toronto.edu/%7Egfb/projects/" target="_blank">http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~gfb/projects/</a>

(But I can&#39;t seem to find a link to the Scheme-Python compiler/translator project.)</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>
<span>One interesting thing Gary mentioned is creating a course that mixes both high- and low-level languages. From what I understood, you would be doing the Assembly homework during the week that you&#39;re learning the Python (or Scheme or whatever) that does roughly the same thing.

We also had a Common Lisp user from Montreal (he&#39;s surrounded by Schemers there *shudder* right? :P) Quite the varied gathering.

Oh, and I finally learned how to properly pronounce TeX and LaTeX.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Just one more thing. Maybe we should get the ALU Wiki page for Toronto back in order? The URL is: <a href="http://wiki.alu.org/Toronto" target="_blank">http://wiki.alu.org/Toronto</a></span></div>


<div><span><br>Oh and another thing. Keep bugging Gary and other Lispers to release code. Toss it and don&#39;t worry too much about how clean the code looks.<br><br></span></div><div><span>-Rudolf Olah</span></div>
