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:

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!
