Subject: Boston Lisp in November
Message-ID: <CAN7nBXcsRWc4YHs6w7T7mtw+dy8LSj_gFB4HZX=iS7ffJYs6zA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Boston Lispers,

are you still meeting once in a while? Who's the best person to
organize a meeting? At MIT? At NorthEastern? At Harvard? At
$BIG_COMPANY?

I'd like to come in November and give a talk. Potential topics:

* First-Class Implementations — my resurrected PhD thesis, same topic
I presented at BostonHaskell in May 2016, with updates.
* Better Stories, Better Languages + Software Creationism vs Software
Evolutionism — topics I presented many times in the past, recently
improved for LambdaConf 2017 and Salon des Refusés 2017.
* ASDF 3.3 and/or Bazelisp — if the public is mostly Common Lispers,
they might want to hear about CL build systems.
* Gerbil Scheme — vyzo's recently open-sourced Scheme implementation,
that I have adopted, which has Racket-like macros and modules on top
of Gambit, plus actors, objects, etc.

My schedule is somewhat flexible, so first, let's find an organizer.
