<div>Thank you for the introduction Rahul!</div>

<div>Besides the meetup page, we are on

<div>We will be posting to YouTube
bi-weekly: A new talk on the second Tuesday of the month, and a
previous talk on the second Tuesday after. <br>

<div>If anybody from your group would like
to give a past talk that the NYC Lisp community has missed, I'd be
happy to host it.</div>

<div>For whatever it's worth, we are using Jitsi for LispNYC,
both presentations and social hang-outs. The presentations are
also being simulcast to YouTube. (If you'd like to drop by our
talk tomorrow, the details are at <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.meetup.com/LispNYC/events/270506803/&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw2vW8SdO2zQ1pd6dwy3ZwdU" style="color:rgb(26,115,232);font-family:Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;white-space:pre-wrap" target="_blank">https://www.meetup.com/LispNYC/events/270506803/</a>)
<div>

<div>It might also be worth considering combining the groups
(or separating on a different axis other than geographical
while we are all interacting virtually). Might also be
worth having an ongoing US-East virtual Lisp group that
meets every couple months post-pandemic.</div>

I can, though it wouldn't strictly be about Lisp. My employer
(<a href="http://osohq.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">osohq.com</a>)<br>
has been developing a logic programming language (i.e., a
Prolog dialect)<br>
focused on authorization problems, and I think both the
language and its<br>
implementation might be of interest. We've written an
embeddable interpreter<br>
in Rust that communicates via FFI to a host or application
language<br>
such as (currently) Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java, or Rust.
It has<br>
some features inspired by Common Lisp (e.g., multiple
dispatch),<br>
but mostly it's a logic language with unification &
backtracking.<br>
Its distinguishing feature is its ability to write rules over
objects<br>
and types from the host language; e.g., whatever models an
application<br>
uses natively. We think this is useful in certain complex
authorization<br>
contexts, and perhaps more broadly.<br>
<br>
I would in particular love to get feedback from a Lisp crowd
on the<br>
language design, syntax, etc. We tried to give it an updated
feel,<br>
but still be recognizably Prolog, and just a little Lispy.
Lisp<br>
folks tend to have pretty high standards and strong opinions
on<br>
all kinds of languages, so it'd be great to hear what people
think.<br>

+1 from me on reliability and ease of use, though I totally
understand<br>
issues people may have with it. Jitsi's probably fine, though
I have<br>
not ever used it.<br>
