Marc, this sounds like a great idea. I can put together a talk about the Parenscript Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler for January. If one of your students can present a talk about your work on JS compilers that IMO would be very interesting. May be too much JavaScript for some, but there's a lot of interesting optimization problems in writing efficient JS compilers that are of use for Lisp implementations.

Dear MSLUGers, we haven't had a meeting in a long time and I am hoping we can start having regular meetings again, say once every 2 months.
- Please reply to this message if you are interested in having a meeting in November (I propose Thursday November 10 at 7 PM, but if you would prefer another date then please make suggestions)
- We need speakers! If you are working with Scheme/Lisp or related language (e.g. JavaScript), then please consider giving a presentation. Don't be shy... we all have a story to tell. If no one comes forward, then I can prepare a talk on the Gambit REPL app for iPhone. I can also ask my students to present some of the work we are doing on the compilation of JavaScript.
- You can also propose to me other people who you think might give an interesting presentation. I'll do the arm twisting!
Marc
