I recently received in the mail a brochure for the USENIX Symposium on
Very High Level Languages (October 26-28, in Santa Fe).  Besides the
languages that I expected, like Perl, TCL, and Ksh, presentations will
be given of Icon, Python, and even Standard ML.  Certainly, then, CLOS
(ANSI Common Lisp) has every right to show its flag there too, if it
wishes.  Ordinarily, one might worry that CLOS, as an ANSI-standard
(by the end of the year) programming language, has more to lose than
to gain by attending such an event in such company; but the USENIX
crowd is highly regarded and very influential, so even a few
well-placed converts from there might prove very useful to the CLOS
community.
