The meetup was obviously a success. We had Gary Baumgartner make an
appearance with 2-4 U of T Computer Science students. He mentioned
some projects he had worked on and which are listed here:
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~gfb/projects/ (But I can't seem to find a
link to the Scheme-Python compiler/translator project.)
One interesting thing Gary mentioned is creating a course that mixes
both high- and low-level languages. From what I understood, you would
be doing the Assembly homework during the week that you're learning
the Python (or Scheme or whatever) that does roughly the same thing.
We also had a Common Lisp user from Montreal (he's surrounded by
Schemers there *shudder* right? :P) Quite the varied gathering. Oh,
and I finally learned how to properly pronounce TeX and LaTeX.
Just one more thing. Maybe we should get the ALU Wiki page for Toronto
back in order? The URL is: http://wiki.alu.org/Toronto

And Lisp NYC is talking about finding a bigger space after our huge
turnout last night...
Coincidence? I don't think so.
