Once I discovered that the European Lisp Symposium was being held in Milan - just 1 km from my house - I decided that I could not miss it. I asked to partecipate as a speaker and I am attending to it now. Yesterday I gave my talk

and discussed a bit with people. Today I plan to discuss some more, especially with Marc Feeley who is in the committee for the future R7RS Scheme standard. I am really curious to know what they have in mind for the future.
