Plus I think that would draw a good crowd. It's irresistible. +1 for fork/join. I thought that was the best part of the JUG talk from a few months back. I appreciated the clear example given that there was a fair amount of docs to wade through, IIRC. Speaking of... is that available on the web? +1 for Java 7.

My ANTLR talk wasn't well attended. I think this is a niche topic. It seems most people are happy with implemented DSL using dynamic languages and getting the syntax close to what they want rather then putting in the extra work to use a tool like ANTLR and get the syntax to be exactly what they want. Of course there's also the issue that not many people implement DSLs at all. I'd really enjoy the Scheme talk, but mainly for academic reasons.
