Thanks to everyone who attended the Racket meet-up

we started off sharing our excitement about the announcement of [Racketfest, "the rogue festival of Racket & language-oriented programming" for March 2023](https://racketfest.com/) (Thank you to Jesse for organising Racketfest - sadly Jesse was unable to attend the meet-up but sent his apologies)

You can read the Racketfest announcement here: [Racketfest 2023: The little Racket conference that could!](https://racket.discourse.group/t/racketfest-2023-the-little-racket-conference-that-could/1516)

Also mentioned was the [Advent of Code Racket Leaderboard announcement](https://racket.discourse.group/t/advent-of-code-2022-racket-leaderboard/1461/2)

After this @dominik.pantucek did a longer show and tell as mentioned earlier in the thread - he has agreed to post some screenshots for those who were not able to join us.

Mentioned: (a wildly incomplete list)

- Using [fxvector](https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/fixnums.html#%28tech._fxvector%29) for better performance
- [x64 Assembler](https://docs.racket-lang.org/x64asm/index.html) a x64 assembler written in Typed Racket, and it generates code that can be used in Racket directly.

I had to leave the group to make my dinner for my family but before I left there was excitement about the upcoming [Racketfest](https://racketfest.com/) talk _Lamb­da, the Drag­on Slay­er!_ from by [Paulo Matos](https://github.com/pmatos) of [Igalia](https://www.igalia.com/) @pmatos ...it is a long wait until **Sat­ur­day, March 18, 2023**

best wishes  
Stephen

**PS the next meet-up with be Saturday 7 January...join us, everyone is welcome.**

PPS I've just booked my Racketfest ticket and I am looking forward to meeting more Racket & language-oriented programming enthusiasts there.
