I will offer reflections, from a personal point of view, about what enduring lessons I have learned through this long involvement.\n\nBoth the programming world and the r eal world it serves have changed a lot in that time. Some issues that faced Lisp in the past no longer matter, while others matter more than ever. I'll assess the state of Lisp today, what challenges it faces, what pitfalls it needs to avoid, and what Lisp's role might and should be in the future of languages, of programming, and of humanity.

If you can kno w more, know sooner,or know differently, then there is the opportunity to exploit this knowledge and make money. Today's automated trading s ystems consume this data and make unassisted decisions to do just that . But even though almost every trader will tell you that news is an im portant input into their trading decisions, most automated systems tod ay are completely unaware of the news — some data is missing. What tec hnology is being used to change all this and make news available as an alytic data to meet the aggressive demands of the financial industry?\ n\nFor around seven years now, RavenPack has been using Common Lisp as the core technology to solve problems and create opportunities for th e financial industry. We have a revenue-generating business model wher e we sell News Analytics — factual and sentiment data extracted from u nstructured, textual news. In this talk, I'll describe the RavenPack s oftware architecture with special focus on how Lisp plays a critical r ole in our technology platform, and hopefully in our success. I hope t o touch upon why we at RavenPack love Lisp, some challenges we face wh en using Lisp, and perhaps even some principles of successful software engineering.

However, parallel programming is in principle ver y hard since it introduces the potential for a combinatorial explosion of the program state space. Therefore, we need different programming models to reduce the complexity induced by concurrency.\n\nCommon Lisp implementations have started to provide low-level symmetric multi-pro cessing (SMP) facilities for current multi-core processors. In this tu torial, we will learn about important parallel programming concepts, w hat impact concurrency has on our intuitions about program efficiency, what low-level features are provided by current Common Lisp implement ations, how they can be used to build high-level concepts, and what co ncepts Lispers should watch out for in the near future. The tutorial w ill cover basic concepts such as task parallelism, data parallelism an d pipeline models; synchronization primitives ranging from compare-and -swap, over locks and software transactional memory, to mailboxes and barriers; integration with Lisp-specific concepts, such as special var iables; and last but not least some rules of thumb for writing paralle l programs.

Ou r code base includes a range of languages, and others contribute addit ional languages on a regular basis. PLT programmers don't hesitate to pick our lazy dialect to implement one module and to link it to a stri ct language for another module in the same system. Later they may even migrate one of the modules to the typed variant during some maintenan ce task.\n\nAn expressive macro system is one key to this riches of la nguages. Starting with the 1986 introduction of hygienic macros, the S CHEME world has worked on turning macros into tools for creating prope r abstractions. The first part of my talk will briefly describe this w orld of modern macros and its key attributes: hygiene, referential tra nsparency, modularity of macros, phase separation, and macro specifica tion.\n\nThe second part of my talk will focus on how to equip LISP-li ke languages with a sound type systems and that will illustrate the se cond key idea, namely, monitoring the interactions between different l anguages. Our approach to type systems allows programmers to stick to their favorite LISP idioms. It mostly suffices to annotate functions a nd structures with type declarations during maintenance work. To ensur e the soundness of this information even when higher-order values flow back and forth between typed and untyped modules, module boundaries a re automatically equipped with software contracts that enforce type-in variants at all levels.
