Good morning, everyone!
The ninth Online Lisp Meeting will bring us Robert Strandh with his third installment in the Creating a Common Lisp Implementation series.
In this series of presentations, we examine different strategies for creating a Common Lisp implementation, as well as the pros and cons of each strategy.
We assume basic knowledge about how a typical modern operating system (such as Unix) works, and how traditional batch languages (such as C) are compiled and executed on such a system. We furthermore assume medium-level knowledge about Common Lisp.
In part 3, we investigate one possible solution to the conundrum of our first strategy outlined in part 2, namely the circular compile-time dependencies between many standard macros and standard functions, forcing us to write more code in a language other than Common Lisp, and also forcing us to write "unnatural" Common Lisp code. The solution to this problem is the foundation of our second strategy for creating a Common Lisp implementation, and it relies on using an existing host Common Lisp implementation for cross compilation.
Since some time has passed since part 1 and 2 were streamed, we strongly recommend that interested participants make sure that the material covered in those two parts is fresh in memory, if necessary by watching those presentations again.
A short Jitsi talk with everyone will happen just after the meeting - everyone is invited!
Date/time/location:
- Date: 16th September 2020

Massive thanks to Marco Heisig for providing the Jitsi instance where we can hang out after the talk.
A mailing list has been created for the purpose of organizing and promoting the online talks. Further announcements will be posted there. See https://mailman.common-lisp.net/listinfo/online-lisp-meets
Lisp videos always accepted! Please let me know if you'd like to talk about anything Lisp-related.
BR and see you, Michał "phoe" Herda
