Highlights

  • Keynote: 20 More Years of Bootstrapping

    • photo Christophe Rhodes Christophe Rhodes (SPEAKER) England

    Although its history is longer than this, the Steel Bank Common Lisp system was announced to the world in 1999, with its distinguishing characteristic of being written in vanilla ANSI Common Lisp explicitly described in the announcement. We provide a retrospective on 20 years of development, discuss some of the features SBCL provides and the rationale behind them, and offer entirely speculative thoughts about the next 20 years of the project.

  • Keynote: The Lisp of the Prophet for the One True Editor

    • photo Stefan Monnier Stefan Monnier Université de Montréal (SPEAKER) Québec Canada

    While the editor war is long gone and Emacs's marketshare has undoubtedly shrunk, it has established itself as an important branch in the Lisp family of languages. In this talk, I will look at what gave Emacs Lisp its shape, including what it took from its siblings and ancestors and what makes it different.

  • Rebooting Racket

    Racket started in 1995 as a fusion of two off-the-shelf C/C++ libraries. From there, things got out of hand. We ended up building and maintaining a large programming language — with ambitions that span from language design to performance, from research to production — on an especially inelegant core implementation. After 2+ years of concerted effort, we have re-built Racket’s core in a more maintainable form. It’s a story as old as programming, and this particular instance looks like it will have a happy ending.
