Lisp everywhere! Gurudom is around the corner

by Pjotr Prins

At: FOSDEM 2020

Minimalism matters in computing. Minimalism allows for smaller systems
that take less resources and consume less energy. More importantly,
free and open source minimalism allows for secure systems that are
easy to understand. Minimalism is also educational and brings back the
fun of the early days of computing where people learn to understand
systems from the ground up. As a co-organizer of this devroom I will
talk about my journey through many programming languages and ending up
with Scheme (a minimal Lisp). Lisp is the second oldest language in
use today and growing. I'll show you that once you master Lisp you can
use it everywhere from software deployment, the shell, the editor and
debugging and for programming systems and in the browser. As a matter
of fact, Lisp is everywhere!
