This is definitely a very good idea. There hasn't been any talks on
lambda nor phoenix yet. I'm not sure I could come this time around,
but I'm definitely interested in helping out on the talk structure.
Even if we focus on the end-user, the scope is still very broad.
How basic would it be? Would it start as a tutorial on lambda
expressions, going through phoenix-esque extensions, then advance
to more advanced subjects like AST manipulation a-la Scheme macros?
