February Compiler Meetup: Call for speakers

[Marijn Haverbeke]

Hi all,

Well, with two whole months of no compiler meetup, I'm sure all of you
are just seething with ideas for talks. Unfortunately, we only have
two slots, so you'd better write quickly to get your talk
scheduled—first come, first serve.

Go!

Best,
Marijn

I could prepare a talk about lazy evaluation: what it means, how to implement it in a very simple language, how to implement it in slightly more complex languages, what to consider.

Sounds great!

Only one slot left now.

If it's doable and there is interest, I'd give a short live session/talk
about the distributed language I'm giving birth.
With live talk I mean to interact with a couple of attendees' laptops
(if necessary, I may have an access point).

That sounds good. (Though I'm not sure many people will have a JVM on
their laptops.)

How shall I describe your talk on the website?

That sounds good. (Though I'm not sure many people will have a JVM on
their laptops.)

Next week I may provide a link to a distribution which also includes the JVM for Mac, Win & Linux.
It's a plain zip file, and can be installed in a directory of choice. The directory can be then just deleted to remove the entire project, as well as the JVM.

How shall I describe your talk on the website?

The project's name is Jivvy. It's a distributed language primarily focused on concurrency. The site is https://wiki.jivvy.org but it won't be reachable until next week (I'm still adjusting a "couple" of things).

Let me know about the access point.

Cheers

Okay, noted on the website. There should be wireless internet at co.up.

I just deployed some HW-dependent distributions of the Jivvy runtime at http://demos.jivvy.org/jivvy-runtime

Every distrib file encloses a jre folder for one of the archs presently supported, so that the JVM used by Jivvy does not interfere with potential existing JVMs. In any case nothing is installed at the system level. The file may be extracted anywhere and the installation folder removed at any time.

The files are quite big, 50-60MB, so if any of you already have a 1.7 JVM the download page of the Jivvy site, https://wiki.jivvy.org/wiki/jivvy/getting_jivvy, may provide a more convenient file to download.

Sorry guys, I reckon this might sound a bit pushy but the talk can result more interesting if a couple of you (but even more, of course) are willing to install the runtime.

However, if someone also has the guts to give it a go, the language reference is at https://wiki.jivvy.org/wiki/jivvy/learning_jivvy (any sort of feedback is welcome).
Note though that in such a case, you must also install the Jivvy server. You can drop me a line at any moment if you have problems or questions.

p.s. The https website is still in flux. The browser will still complain about the self-signed certificate.
