Scheme for god sake!
Monday’s iPhone Meetup was fun. There were lots of people to talk to, and everyone was really excited about the iPhone platform. In this photo of the panelists, I’m the guy in the center. I wasn’t sure what the internet situation was going to be like, so I was running a Scribular server on the laptop sitting in front of me, and my iPod Touch was connecting to it.
Jeffrey Fredrick has a nice post about the event in which he writes, “Rob [me] wrote his backend web service in Scheme for god sake.” This is true. Scribular’s backend is written in LeftParen, which is a framework written on top of PLT Scheme. Scheme isn’t too common a choice for web apps these days, but I think it’s a good one.
