Here are some other #FOSDEM talks I recommend:

Wastrel: WebAssembly Without the Runtime by @wingo (Wastrel uses #Spritely Hoot!) https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HT9HAG-wastrel-webassembly-without-the-runtime/

Willow - Protocols for an uncertain future (wins "Christine's award for most charming presentation") by @gwil https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/CVGZAV-willow/

Automerge + Keyhive Design Overview by @expede https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/BZ9CAE-automerge/

BLUE - A generic build-system crafted entirely in Guile by @shepherd https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/3A7VGM-blue/

raylib: a 12-year adventure as a solo-maintainer https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/883PBF-raylib-12-year-adventure/

Too many other good talks to list of course (and I haven't gotten through all of them) but all of the above talks totally rule

[durian@macintosh.acab.fans]

excited to watch these!

Oh and one more talk I highly recommend, very complimentary to @wingo's Wastrel talk IMO (tho not using the same tech):

High-Speed Linux Application Execution in the Browser with Binary Translation https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/NABRSD-high-speed_linux_application_execution_in_the_browser_with_binary_translation/

[gwil@post.lurk.org]

@cwebber @wingo @expede @shepherd thank you for this prestigious award!

[d1@autistics.life]

@gwil @cwebber @wingo @expede @shepherd AWESOME presentation on Willow! The Zelda titlescreen homage was the cat's pyjamas. 🤌

@cwebber @wingo oh these are both relevant to my interesters

[easilok@fosstodon.org]

@cwebber it was a great talk! I'm curious to read the rest of the slides you had to skip to learn more

[quartz@mastodon.xyz]

@cwebber I don't see a recording for Lisp is Clay, would you know if it's coming?

[jboy@post.lurk.org]

@quartz @cwebber wondering the same

[cwebber@social.coop]

@quartz I approved the recording with a new time but I guess I probably need to re-approve

[cwebber@social.coop]

@quartz Reviewed and approved the new version, hopefully out soon

[cwebber@social.coop]

To everyone who pointed it out, yes my Lisp is Clay talk video wasn't up when I posted this! Here it is now: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HDE7JZ-lisp-is-clay/

I had a really strong positive reaction from the audience on this talk! If you've ever been wondering "well why is Spritely in lisp/scheme and what are those lisp people doing over there anyway" OR if you have had a hard time articulating why Lisp is great (and not just "it has macros"!) here's a talk for you!
