Slug: "internet-os",
Title: "The future of operating systems in an Internet world",
Description: `Despite the web's technical problems, it dominates software development today, largely due to its cross-platform support and ease of distribution. At the same time, our discussions about the future of programming tend to involve new "operating systems", but those discussions rarely take the Internet into account. What could future operating systems look like in a world defined by the Internet?`,

Title: "Compile-time introspection and metaprogramming",
Description: `Thanks to new languages like Zig and Jai, compile-time execution and metaprogramming are a popular topic of discussion in the community. This fishbowl explores metaprogramming in more detail, and discusses to what extent it is actually necessary, or just a waste of time.`,

Title: "Lessons from the Lisp Jam",
Description: `In the summer of 2020 we held a Lisp jam, where many community members made exploratory Lisp-inspired projects. We held this fishbowl as a recap, as a time for the participants to share what they learned and explore how those lessons relate to our day-to-day programming.`,

Slug: "skimming",
Title: "Code skimmability as the root cause for bad code structure decisions", // real snappy, this one
Description: `Programmers tend to care a lot about "readability". This usually means having small classes, small functions, small files. This code might be "readable" at a glance, but this doesn't really help you understand the program—it's just "skimmable". How can we think about "readability" in a more productive way?`,

Title: "How to design to avoid configuration",
Description: `Configuration sucks. How can we avoid it, while still making software that supports a wide range of behaviors? What is the essence of "configuration", and how can we identify it? How can we identify what is "bad config", and design our software to avoid it?`,

Title: "The relationship of simplicity and performance",
Description: "In the community, we talk a lot about performance. We also talk a lot about having simple code—and the two feel somewhat intertwined. What relationship is there between simplicity and performance? Are there better ways to reason about \"simplicity\" with this in mind?",
