The Los Angeles Clojure Users Group (https://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Clojure-Users-Group/) welcomes Michael Miller, the presenter for our May meetup. He'll be talking about the language Premise. Afterwards, we'll invite any attendee to give a quick talk on a topic of their choice.
The Premise Language
Premise is a functional prototype programming language that supports logical and similarity based pattern matching, asynchrony, and inference. The Sapir Whorf hypothesis applied to computer programming suggests that the primitives in a programming language frame and constrain how developers think about solutions. Premise's high level language intrinsics and literal orientation offer programmers a new vantage point for solving complex problems and building artificially intelligent systems.

Also Lightning Talks
After Michael's presentation, we'll open up the floor to anyone that would like to give a quick talk (five minutes or so) on anything they'd think would be of interest to the group. A wide range of topics are encouraged: a library you've learned about recently, a new project you'd like feedback on, a question that's been on your mind lately, etc.
