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.
