The talk was interesting, but unfortunately there were a few issues that obscured the message a bit. I'll try to give some feedback:

The Good:

- Massimiliano is very knowledgeable and obviously knows what he is talking about.
- Meta-programming! Lisp!
- Live code transformation!
- MetaScript, new language to try out!
- Good delivery.

The bad:

- Live coding didn't work
- Code a bit too small on screen, hard to read
- Pretty heavy stuff for a ~1hr morning keynote :)
- Author assumed audience was familiar with deep PL concepts
- Few actionable stuff after the talk for a developer that wants to start with macro programming, except perhaps go and check out the Github repository.

All in all, an interesting talk with a huge potential. Can't wait to see its next iteration! In the meantime, I'll give MetaScript a try.
