On June 9 I will host Christian Schafmeister for a talk about "Clasp:
Common Lisp using LLVM and C++ for Molecular Metaprogramming".
It is the talk he gave on the ELS2015 on London and I liked it a lot.
It was one of many knockout talks on that conference. Lisp has come a
long way. I am very happy Christian can give the talk locally.
This event is in the Google office at Kendall Red Line station.
External guests are invited. We have to do the full run with upfront
registration, visitor pass and assigned Googler (aka me unless
we get a lot of guests). So if you would like to come please let me
know soon.
If you have friends who might be interested in "Molecular Lego" please
forward. The talk is about programming but the molecular part is very
good. Same for general LLVM enthusiasts you might know.
Planned time is June 9, 2015 12:00-13:00. You would need to be early
because I can't set up Christian and get you in at the same time.
PLEASE CONFIRM TIME in case there are changes.
Abstract:
Clasp is an implementation of Common Lisp that interoperates with C++
and uses LLVM as its backend. It is available at
github.com/drmeister/clasp. The goal of Clasp is to become a
performant Common Lisp that can use C++ libraries and interoperate
with LLVM-based tools and languages. The first sophisticated C++
library with which Clasp interoperates is the Clang C/C++ compiler
front end. Using the Clang library, Common Lisp programs can be
written that parse and carry out static analysis and automatic
refactoring of C/C++ code.
This facility is used to automatically analyze the Clasp C++ source
code and construct an interface to the Memory Pool System compacting
garbage collector. The primary purpose of Clasp is to act as a
performant language for scientific computing that will be used to
design sophisticated new molecular devices, catalysts and therapeutic
molecules based on our "Molecular Lego" technology. Clasp is a general
programming language that will support many other applications.

ELS'16 - 9th European Lisp Symposium
Department of Computer Science
AGH University of Science and Technology
Kraków, Poland
May 9-10, 2016
In cooperation with: ACM SIGPLAN
Sponsored by EPITA, Franz Inc., LispWorks Ltd. and Dept. of Computer
Science AGH UST
http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/
Recent news:
- Submission deadline in less than a month!
- 3nd invited speaker announced: Stephan Karpinski on Julia: to Lisp
or Not to Lisp?
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, Hop and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
The 9th European Lisp Symposium invites high quality papers about
novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications and educational perspectives. We also encourage
submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new
setting and/or in a highly elegant way.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Language design and implementation
- Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
- Development methodologies, support and environments
- Educational approaches and perspectives
- Experience reports and case studies
We invite submissions in the following forms:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 8 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations
about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to
180 minutes.
The symposium will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be
registered on-site every day.
All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more
information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and
http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998. The conference proceedings will be
published in the ACM Digital Library.
Important dates:
- 19 Feb 2016 Submission deadline
- 25 Mar 2016 Notification of acceptance
- 15 Apr 2016 Early registration deadline
