When my time on earth is completed, I want to go quietly in my sleep,
like my grandfather ... not screaming in terror, like his passengers.


Next Boston Lisp Meeting: Monday March 31st 2008, 6pm at MIT 34-401B

Alexey Radul will speak about What I hate most about Scheme and what
I'm doing about it. Alexey Radul is a graduate student at MIT. He uses
the Scheme programming language, for which he has written an extension
for probabilistic programming.

Rahul Jain will present DefDoc. DefDoc is a lisp-based document
description and processing system. Both macros and object-orientation
are available so that the description of a document can be focused as
much as possible on content and structure. Rahul Jain is a New York
based consultant who programs in Common Lisp for fun and profit.

The Lisp Meeting with take place at MIT, room 34-401B. As the numbers
indicate, this is in Building 34, on the 4th floor.

I haven't found a sponsor for food yet, but whether we find one or
not, I'll organize something for those hackers who wish to have dinner
together after the conference. Please send email to fare at tunes (dot
org) to register if you're interested, so I may have a head-count and
make according preparations.

PS: The previous Boston Lisp Meeting on March 3rd was a big success,
with about 40 attendants. Thanks a lot to all those who came. I hope
we'll meet again and have more of those interesting conversations.

PPS: We're more than ever looking for speakers. We have a lot of
potential speakers, but few confirmed speakers at scheduled dates. The
call for speakers and all the other details are at <
