  Carl: we hold the meetings at the Université de Montréal, so we have access to a 40-50 seats room, with a good projector. It’s a small conference room.

  Heri: although weird and non intuitive at first sight, Lisp parentheses are an essential ingredient for its power. After a few days of programming, you don’t notice them anymore, given that you use a good editor.

  Heri:

  I used to be an Emacs type of guy. But now I use Eclipse at work so I developed a Scheme editor plugin for Eclipse: http://schemeway.sourceforge.net
