Talk in Boston: Lisp, LLVM, Molecular Lego
by Martin Cracauer 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

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'17 - 10th European Lisp Symposium VUB - Vrije Universiteit Brussel Belgium April 3-4, 2017 In co-location with <Programming> 2017 Sponsored by Brunner Software GmbH http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/ 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 10th 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. Submissions should be uploaded to Easy Chair, at the following address: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=els17 Note: to help us with the review process please indicate the type of submission by entering either "paper", "demo", or "tutorial" in the Keywords field. Important dates: - 30 Jan 2017 Submission deadline - 27 Feb 2017 Notification of acceptance - 20 Mar 2017 Final papers due - 03-04 Apr 2017 Symposium Programme chair: Alberto Riva, University of Florida, USA Programme committee: Marco Antoniotti, Università Milano Bicocca, Italy Marc Battyani, FractalConcept Theo D'Hondt, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Marc Feeley, Université de Montreal, Canada Stelian Ionescu, Google Rainer Joswig, Independent Consultant, Germany António Menezes Leitão, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Nick Levine, RavenPack Henry Lieberman, MIT, USA Mark Tarver, Shen Programming Group Jay McCarthy, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA Christian Queinnec, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France François-René Rideau, Bridgewater Associates, USA Nikodemus Siivola, ZenRobotics Ltd Alessio Stalla, Università degli Studi di Genova, Italy Search Keywords: #els2017, ELS 2017, ELS '17, European Lisp Symposium 2017, European Lisp Symposium '17, 10th ELS, 10th European Lisp Symposium, European Lisp Conference 2017, European Lisp Conference '17 -- Resistance is futile.
