From: Brian Gruber <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 12:08:15 -0400 To: [email protected] Subject: [Lisp-announce] Next week: What's new in R7RS with John Cowan Hello Lispers, Please join us next Tuesday, September 13th at 7pm for our monthly meeting. This month, we focus our attention on Scheme with John Cowan's much-anticipated talk on R7RS. --- Scheme is undergoing another revision cycle. Because of widespread dissatisfaction with and resistance to R6RS, the Scheme Steering Committee (Will Clinger, Marc Feeley, Chris Hanson, Jonathan Rees, and Olin Shivers) decided to standardize two Schemes: a small language, the direct successor to R5RS; and a large language, potentially larger than R6RS or even ANSI Common Lisp. Two Working Groups called WG1 and WG2 respectively were selected by the Committee from volunteers. WG1 has been working busily, enhancing R5RS with new features and improvements on existing features, with reference to the consistency of the language and consistency with existing implementations. The completion of that process is now in sight with the publication of the third working draft of the small language. John Cowan is a member of both WGs and the chair of WG2. His talk will discuss the goals of small Scheme, what WG1 has done, what it has left to do, and (time permitting) something of WG2's work and plans to date. --- This month's meeting will be at Meetup HQ, 632 Broadway, 3rd floor. Pizza and beer (and soft drinks) provided, courtesy of Meetup. RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/LispNYC/events/18481411/ RSVPing is not strictly required but is politely requested, as the amount of pizza will be determined by the number of members who RSVP. /brian _______________________________________________ Lisp-announce mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispnyc.org:8080/mailman/listinfo/lisp-announce </blockquote> Distributed poC TINC: Jay Sulzberger <[email protected]> Corresponding Secretary LXNY LXNY is New York's Free Computing Organization. http://www.lxny.org _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
