I agree.

Is it ok if I rework http://community.schemewiki.org/?FOSDEM2019
so that it claims that there is a 'minimalistic language' devroom

Also, I would like to copy/paste the proposals from [0] to that wiki 
page so
that people see that there are actually more people interested in such a 
room.
