<p>Oh goodness, this is amazing news! Would you mind recording a
short talk about it? I'd love to listen about the story of these
dialects and the story of freeing their sources, and I'm sure
that a big chunk of our audience would share my wish.<br>

<p>We officially start running out of fingers on a
single hand, because this Online Lisp Meeting shall be
the fifth one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We will have a pair of speakers this time: Bonface
Munyoki, a software developer with a keen interest in
functional programming, and Robert Strandh of SICL
fame.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Bonface will talk about Guix Past:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<pre>In the field of software development, libraries and tools evolve quickly<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>to keep up with trends, improvements in hardware or to work around<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>discovered/ exposed vulnerabilities. People, across diverse fields,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>adapt their work by updating the libraries they use to keep up. For<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>scientists, that normally does not happen. Rarely will people maintain<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the code they wrote for a paper they published; instead, it's the<o:p></o:p></pre>

<p class="MsoNormal">Robert will continue talking about
creating a Common Lisp implementation with part 2 of
his talk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<pre>In this series of presentations, we examine different strategies for<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>creating a Common Lisp implementation, as well as the pros and cons of<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>each strategy.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>We assume basic knowledge about how a typical modern operating system<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>(such as Unix) works, and how traditional batch languages (such as C)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>are compiled and executed on such a system. We furthermore assume<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>medium-level knowledge about Common Lisp.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>In part 2, we sketch a possible compiler that generates byte codes,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>and an abstract machine for interpreting such byte codes.<o:p></o:p></pre>

<p>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 (I know that I promised
you that the last time and didn't deliver - I
wholeheartedly apologize.) - let's discuss that on
#lispcafe.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Massive thanks to Marco Heisig for
providing the Jitsi instance where we can hang out
after the talk. (Ha! No one noticed that I called him
Macro in the previous mail. Strangely suitable,
anyway.)<br>
<br>
A mailing list has been created for the purpose of
organizing and promoting the online talks. Further
announcements will be posted there. See <a

feel free to. The slots are almost always open -
there's no real queue for these videos.<o:p></o:p></p>
