Re: next talk after Clojure?

+1, and apologies is this is a double post, is this forum moderated?

I would like to review F# too, despite it being Satan spawn. But it's
good to keep an eye on that guy.

Also would be interesting to review the .NET runtime support versus
other VM's (like Java's) for tailcall instructions and anything else
helpful to functional languages. (Example of proposals for JVM:
http://blogs.sun.com/jrose/entry/tail_calls_in_the_vm)

In my book, a functional language that is proprietary to a Microsoft
managed runtime is automatic EPIC FAIL. But still interesting to learn
about, since it's always good to keep an eye on the gorilla in the
corner. They do seem to be making amends with the inkernets with the
Silverlight moves to support Ruby/Jython/JavaScript and so many others
(Smalltalk too for example). So hat's off to them, but don't be
fooled!
