WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Briefly, Qi is a general-purpose embeddable language that is oriented around functional and immutable programming, and it offers sequential ("threading") and other forms of composition, conditionals, predicate composition, various conveniences for (e.g. partial) function application, among other things. Writing a compiler for a DSL has been an obscure art, but with recent research and ecosystem improvements, it's becoming more accessible to Racket DSL authors. We recently completed retrofitting Qi with an expander that expands Qi macros to core Qi forms (much like Racket's expander expands Racket macros (including built-in macros like cond and let) to core Racket forms).

For the record, I've never written a compiler before and I'm also learning. All are welcome to attend, and we will do our best to keep the discussion accessible. There are notes from previous meetings if you are interested in learning more. See you there!
