- A: Not yet.  If you're near Montreal and you have a kitten for
me, I'm interested
- I *hope* cl-loop is more efficient than building a bunch of intermediate lists when you chain map/filter/reduce operations.
+- Curious: how is gnu poke more flexible?
+- What hobbies/interests do you have besides Emacs (and PL)? :)
+- do you have any thoughts about how to make EmacsConf even better next year?
+- I was surprised to see that a whole new DSL was developed for poke from scratch. Do you think would have been better to develop/improve a library like bindat on top of an existing language instead?
+- What are some of your favorite talks from this conf so far?
+- what kind of dog is Winnie?
+ - comment: I hadn't heard of that breed before
+- How do you see more control over types (type hints/decl through type specifiers etc) (SBCL like programming model) coming into Elisp?
+- Do you plan to add bit-level support?
+Other comments:

+- I can imagine using bindat to improve Emacs's music player packages
+- yes last year the Q&A periods were much longer
+ - last year some of the presentations were live though
+- I've asked this question to them during LPC 2020 but infact haven't got a very satisfactory answer :)
+- If you ever write a library for window management in Emacs, you could call it winnie.el :)
+- hints in unoptimized code should be assertions
+- we probably need both ways of compiling: safe and less safe :)
+- I think this is classic problem that is almost impossible to accomplish. many libraries try to do that but in the end the only working ones are relaying on C compilers.
+- also you have the problem of size of objects. like how big is a long? this is not specified and is arch dependent
+- parsing a generic .h file is way more difficult but is another subject.
+- yep, the automatic translation is more for libraries trying to write automatically C bindings
