Online Lisp Meeting #9

[Michał "phoe" Herda]

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.
