+    We reconstruct a theory of object-orientation from first principles, as modularity and
+    extensibility together. Mixin inheritance then appears as a natural embodiment of these joined
+    principles expressed in the lambda-calculus. Further OO concepts such as prototypes, classes,
+    single or multiple inheritance, multiple dispatch, method combinations and more naturally
+    follow. Interestingly, many misconceptions about OO can also be dispelled, and we find that the
+    simplest and most natural context for OO is pure lazy dynamic functional programming, without
+    classes, and even without objects(!). A Scheme and/or Racket prototype (ha!) of these ideas will
+    be presented.

+   #:bio @bio{
+    Not fitting in French Academia due to his penchant for dynamic languages, Faré learned how (not)
+    to build software in Corporate America (ITA, Google, Bridgewater), and eventually became his own
+    startup entrepreneur in the domain of secure blockchain architecture. Trained in Programming
+    Language Semantics and Distributed Systems, Faré completed but never defended a thesis on
+    Reflective Systems. Once author of versions 2 and 3 of the build system ASDF at the heart of all
+    Common Lisp free software, he is now co-maintainer of Gerbil Scheme. Unsettled by online debates
+    between OO vs FP back when he was a student at ENS.fr, he finally discovered twenty years later
+    the essence of OO thanks to Jsonnet and Nix, and, trying to share his insight and digging into
+    old bibliography, became despite himself an expert on Object-Orientation.
