If you are pondering whether to attend this one, you may find interesting a planned show-and-tell of my latest work: Qi+call/cc=BASIC

Yes, that is an oversimplification, but it nicely sums up what you are going to see :wink:

Although it is a proof-of-concept at the moment, it contains ideas from Karel[1], supports multiple (many) agents interacting in a shared world, unifies network and local interactivity and allows for easy extension with new commands that encodes both the semantics and cost (time slices at the moment) of each command defined.

Thanks everyone for showing up. The code for my Actor Basic implementation can be found here:

As discussed, this is a work-in-progress and creating a new mini-language was more of an accident than intention. The best (and only) example usage is in:

Special thanks to @countvajhula for joining this meetup and discussing flow-oriented DSLs with me. I promise that for the next Qi meetup I will not confuse Saturday with Friday :wink:
