Online Lisp Meeting #4

[Michał "phoe" Herda]

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.

(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!
