Good morning, everyone! It's time to have an Online Lisp Meeting for the fourth time.
Robert Strandh will once again talk, this time about creating Common Lisp implementations!
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 1, we compare the issues of creating a Common Lisp
implementation to the issues of writing a compiler for a traditional batch language for a typical modern operating system. Given these issues, we investigate some strategies for creating a compiler for a Common Lisp system, and we examine the requirements on the run-time environment for the compiled code to be executable in that environment.
As before, the talk will be pre-recorded and played back on Twitch, with the ability to comment on the Twitch chat during playback. The videos will make it onto YouTube. In my evening, I plan on organizing an online drink and chat on Jitsi - let's discuss that on #lispcafe.
Date/time/location:
* Date: 29th June 2020 * Time: 13:00 CEST - https://time.is/en/CEST * Talk: https://www.twitch.tv/TwitchPlaysCommonLisp * Hangout: https://chat.heisig.xyz/TwitchPlaysCommonLisp
Massive thanks to Macro 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
(I really think that I should customize the part where I ask everyone to submit their own talks or Lispy things they'd like to share, so, I guess that's what I am doing right now. Please throw them at me and I'll be happy to host them!)
BR and see you! Michał "phoe" Herda
