Hi guys,
Guillaume's presentation is available on the MSLUG web site.
I have also added links to some Scheme/Lisp books in the 'Resources'
section of the site.
Cheers!

The next meeting of the Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group
will be held on Wednesday, February 16th 2005.
Speaker: Guillaume Germain, Université de Montréal
Subject: Termite - a Lisp for distributed programming
Termite is an experimental language/system that aims to blend the
Erlang model of concurrency and distribution into Scheme. Notably it
adds to Scheme the notion of lightweight isolated concurrent processes
with asynchronous message passing and selective message reception. It
also features migration of processes across the network while keeping
location transparency.
The language/system and its current implementation will be presented,
along with the goals and motivations behind it. Future research and
implementation ideas will also be exposed.
