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

(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!
