Announcing: Racketfest 2019

I’m happy to announce that I’m organizing a Racket conference. It’ll be called Racketfest, and it’ll be held at Spielfeld, a coworking/event space in Berlin, on Saturday, March 23, 2019. It’s a one-day event, running from 09:00 to 18:00.

Two keynotes

We’ll have two keynote addresses bookending the conference:

• Morning: Shriram Krishnamurthi (Pyret) (title TBA)
• Evening: Tony Garnock-Jones (Syndicate) (title TBA)

Talks

After the morning keynote, we’ll have three talks:

• Michael Sperber (DeinProgramm): The truth about teaching with design recipes
• Ryan Culpepper (syntax/parse) (title TBA)
• Panicz Godek (grand scheme): FP vs. OOP: Case studies in misunderstanding

Tutorials

The afternoon is dedicated to tutorials:

• Parallel computing using places, by Jörgen Brandt
• Introduction to contracts, by Paulo Matos
• Make a language, by myself

After the tutorials, Tony will give the closing keynote.

Nearby events

Racketfest takes place right after BOBKonf, a delightful one-day event taking place on Friday, March 22, 2019. I was at BOBKonf last year and can highly recommend attending it.
