I live not so far from Bruxelles so I'd be glad to be a part of it! I'd love to talk about how easy it is to write DSLs in Racket, and about how you can replace your data with DSLs. Something like "Who needs JSON when you can DSL?". One of the examples would be Scribble, but I'm also thinking about showing some DSLs I wrote (a CPU emulator language, an ASM, a WebAssembly transpiler...).
If you have any ideas about a cool DSL made in Racket we could show off, don't hesitate to suggest it here! We could also do workshops about <buzztalk>leveraging the power of syntax-parse</buzztalk> or something along those lines. It's one of the most powerful constructs in Racket, so for already seasoned schemers, it might be the selling point. Talking about web development could be nice too, but I'm not feeling confident enough in my exploration of writing Racket for the web to be able to survive the flow of questions about load-balancing and server rendering buzz. (I'm an experienced enough web developer to know that I shouldn't talk about web development unless I'm willing to get torn apart and eaten alive by the rest of the industry. It's a wild world.) But if someone has more than one year of web development with Racket under his belt, feel free to step into the arena. Concerning the format, does somebody have experience about whether we should do Main Track Talks, Developer Rooms, Stands or Lighting Talks? - The Main Track is 50 minutes talks (including questions). - Developer Rooms are focused on open source projects collaboration (mostly presentations it seems). - Stands are a table, two chairs, a power socket and an internet access. - Lightning Talks are 15 minutes talks. I am okay with all of them. I'd be glad to organize and animate workshops on a stand or in a room, and eventually do a lightning talk. Are there more people willing to come?
