Hey, 8 people showed up for the meetup which is awesome. The food was good (I think?) and we had some tables in the backroom of the Fox & Fiddle which was much quieter than the rest of the place. We'll have to reserve those tables again next time.
I had the thought that we could do monthly meetups during the warmer months, so that means the next meetup would be in the first week of May. If we go with the current schedule, then the next meetup is in June. So we're having a vote, who wants to do a meetup next month? Any other suggestions are welcome too.
Also, here are some links to some of what was discussed last night: ContextL - http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/contextl.html Cells - http://www.cliki.net/Cells Art of the Meta-Object Protocol - http://www.amazon.com/Art-Metaobject-Protocol-Gregor-Kiczales/dp/0262610744 (can't find any PDF version of it, except for a sample of one chapter) Chicken Scheme - http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/ (someone mentioned they were replacing Perl scripts with this Scheme in particular?) Clojure - http://clojure.sourceforge.net/
I'm bad with names but there was a University of Waterloo student who mentioned doing analysis of source code indentation and how it indicates complexity. I think this is it: http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~migod/papers/2008/icpc08-abram.pdf but I'm not sure.
What other object-oriented Common Lisp books are there?
Thanks, -Rudolf

Glad to hear the meetings are going well. I hope to get the chance to attend again in the next few months, and perhaps drag a few other Montrealers with me.

Sonya Keene's book (Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp) is well-regarded, and of course Practical Common Lisp has some good basic CLOS coverage. But the Art of the MOP is definitely a classic, although not (it must be stressed) _not_ an introduction.
Cheers,
