Concrete but unscheduled

These are concrete talk proposals where we have a willing presenter. Please file separate issues for general topic requests.

• Naso Evangelou-Oost - Subtypes and quotient types in Lean 4
• @donovancrichton - mystery Dependent Types topic based on yet-to-be-published paper.
• @flatwhatson - Hygienic Macrology in Scheme
• @flatwhatson - Type Reconstruction in Pre-Scheme
• @rtpg - Avoiding backend/frontend interface mismatch issues without codegen using Typescript

Requested topics

• Debugging in Haskell (stack traces, etc)

Venue

• BCC Library Brisbane Square

Hack nights

Would be good to kick of hack night again

Suggested activities / hack night projects

• Migrate applied FP course from waaargonaut to aeson.

[flatwhatson]

I can do (at least) the following topics:

• Hygienic Macrology in Scheme
• Type Reconstruction in Pre-Scheme

[rtpg]

I can give a talk on removing backend/frontend interface mismatch issues without codegen using Typescript (i.e. making sure your backend and frontend stay in sync).

@rtpg does Feb and/or March work?

[frasertweedale]

I can do (at least) the following topics:

* Hygienic Macrology in Scheme
* Type Reconstruction in Pre-Scheme

@flatwhatson Could you present one of these in March or April?

My Abstract for my Feb 25 talk:

Let me know if you want it shorter.

Explicit substitutions are a commonly encountered extension to typed lambda calculi
particularly when working with higher order, or dependently typed variants.
This talk will cover the rationale, syntax and evaluation for explicit substitutions, and 
showcase how they reduce the burden of reasoning about the substitution operation in the meta-theory.

We will undertake a tour of the following concepts that are suitable for beginner functional programmers :
Simply Typed Lambda Calculus, de Bruijn Indices, and typing rule notation.
We will conclude with a mutually inductive presentation
of explicit substitution over a dependent type theory for more advanced attendees.

[LightAndLight]

I can present the following as early as April (at the time of writing, I'd be scheduled for May): A "third way" of compiling parametric polymorphism
