True. people can stay and chat for as long as they like, screen sharing or just discussing. I have in the past just dropped in after the meeting and was pleasantly surprised to find racketeers chatting. The Racket Room is also available for other Racket community activities - _no booking required_ - a QI meeting took place recently, and I expect more are to come. ---

Hi, Just left a fantastic meet-up ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/ffd10b4366364ca38a57f4d8af2f8d0ffe56978a.png) We covered a lot - this is what I remember but I've probably missed some items: Ross McKinlay spoke about his `#lang pisemble` efforts making an assembler for the Raspberry Pi that adds the power of Racket macros. Dominic showed us his GUI app controlled by website ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/2f14d8100aaf21efc5b8bd6dc23af8831db87304.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/a50932b15784b619dcfe3e8359d74a0644df8493.jpeg) The GUI app runs on an Raspberry Pi and provides 'ON AIR' sign for recording/streaming sessions. We also spoke about the [twelfth RacketCon)](https://con.racket-lang.org/), Oct 28-30 - there was much excitement about the wonderful list of speakers. (thanks to @Jesse for organising RacketCon) Some discussion on languages for Interactive fiction - an active project by @hendrikboom3 Jack Firth gave us a preview of **resyntax** ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/34b04b7380ae336db84f6f60902f86ae7d3fc8b9.jpeg) Resyntax includes a refactoring test language! ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/35dab9bcd5ed7edc8b5976b677d896acdb19e93c.jpeg) Bogdan gave us a preview of an enhancement he has made to PostgreSQL support in Racket: `postgresql-cancel`: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/b4b23a728e5e2fe41df52e897e776dc4a3cdc39c.jpeg) Bogdan also spoke on his work with Racket and Swift - including generating Swift code for an application that has a native UI front end and a Racket backend communicating via pipes. (if you use macOS I encourage you to try Remember [Announcing Remember for macOS - defn.io](https://defn.io/2020/01/02/ann-remember/) download link: [https://remember.defn.io](https://remember.defn.io) ) There was other discussion too. My favourite quote _ **'Metaprogramming your metaprogramming'** _ - Ross McKinlay That all I have. Apologies if I have missed anything. The next meet-up is 1 October - incidentally this is also the closing date for the [Summer `#lang` party](https://github.com/lang-party/Summer2022#lang-party-summer-2022), get those entries in! ttfn Stephen :beetle: ---

I forgot to take a screenshot (or better notes) about pisemble but here is the tweet from Ross that includes a screenshot: > Stephen :beetle:
