Possibly an inadvertent holdover from a previous event in 2019? https://developers.slashdot.org/story/19/04/21/191201/histor...

This should be an amazing discussion.

Note that they are behind on sponsorship, which means that currently this discussion isn't being recorded for posterity. If you are at a company who might benefit from sponsorship or are in a position to help, please see:

And let's get this discussion recorded!

I wish one of these panels invited David Moon, if he's also interested of course. He was one of the main creators of multiple generations of Lisp, and of Apple's Dylan. Not the most popular languages today, but they are very well-designed in my opinion, and David is held in a very high regard by those who worked with him. His long-time colleague Guy Steele has been much more public over the years.
