> 1 Sam Tobin-Hochstadt on Typed Scheme
> 
> Typed Scheme is a system for incrementally porting untyped PLT Scheme programs
> to a typed language. The type system is designed to automatically accommodate
> typical Scheme idioms, and includes several novel features to support this. It
> also offers sound and automatic interoperability with untyped code. It has been
> used in real applications and on thousands of lines of existing Scheme code.
> 
> http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/samth/typed-scheme/
> 
> Sam Tobin-Hochstadt is a postdoc at Northeastern University, working for
> Matthias Felleisen. He is investigating the integration of typed and untyped
> languages, with a focus on Scheme and JavaScript. As a graduate student, he
> developed Typed Scheme, which he continues to maintain. He is currently
> supported by a grant from the Mozilla Corporation.
> 
> 2 Lightning Talks
> 
> At every meeting, before the main talk, there are two slots for strictly timed
> 5-minute "Lightning Talks" followed by 2 minutes for questions and answers.

> The slots for next meeting are still open. Step up and come talk about your pet
> project! Contact me at fare at tunes.org.
