> ok folks, we're going to try doing this on Discord tomorrow (in the #voice channel), as an experiment 🙂
> 
> Tomorrow we'll aim to discuss:
> 
> - summary and current status of the Qi compiler project
> - the architecture of a "first class" DSL, i.e. one where the DSL has the same status as the host language, including having a compiler, binding rules, macros, etc.
> - sneak preview of the syntax-spec library (part of Michael Ballantyne's PhD work at NEU), and how it enables such "first class" DSLs
> - discuss ideas for compiler optimizations
> - write some optimizations!
> - anything else anyone wants to talk about or learn more about
> 
> 10 am PST / 1pm EST / 5pm UTC
> 
> All welcome. See ya.
