The next meeting of BayPIGgies will be Thurs September 9 at 7:30pm. It
will feature a presentation about pyscheme by Danny Yoo. Haven't had
time to update the web site, so here's Danny's summary:
http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/pyscheme/
o A quick introduction to Scheme, and how it's similar to Python.
o A sketch of how pyscheme works.
o Demo of the program itself.
o Discussion on a core problem when implementing Scheme in Python:
Recursion!
- Python's recursion limit.
- How to deal with it: bouncing functions on trampolines.
o Maybe even continuations, if I haven't lost the audience by then.
BayPIGgies meetings are in Stanford, California. For more information
and directions, see http://www.baypiggies.net/
Before the meeting, some people will meet at 6pm for dinner in downtown
Palo Alto. Ducky Sherwood is handling that; please send RSVPs
to (e-mail address removed) by 4pm Thurs.
Discussion of dinner plans is handled on the BayPIGgies mailing list.
Advance notice: The October 14 meeting agenda has not been set. Please
send e-mail to (e-mail address removed) if you want to make a
presentation.

koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated. You
discover truth everytime you use it." (e-mail address removed)
