Jan 27 Presentation Request - Oly Language

[William Smith]

Hi everyone!

I'm Will. I used to live in Franklin, TN over a decade ago and used to attend NashFP around that time.  I used to work with Bryan Hunter in the early 2010s at Firefly Logic. Since then, I worked at Microsoft on the F# team and .NET JIT team.

If there is an open slot on Jan 27 for a presentation over zoom, I would love to present a language I have been working on for 5 years called Oly:  TIHan/Oly: Oly Language Compiler and Runtime

Sincerely,
Will

[Scott Southworth]

Heya! I met Will in my game dev group in Nashville waaay back. Found out he worked for Bryan after that and then met Will AGAIN at the game dev group here in Olympia -- where he lives a mile or so down the road from me! 

His language is really cool and he's been working on compiler/F# stuff for years now. I thought it would be really cool to hear some of the tech details in our group (and Michael has been working on his own language just up the coast from us!)

Usually someone acts as organizer and I haven't heard from anyone this month? And now Nashville is half out of power :(

Are we still on for today?

Welp, I don't know who will show up or who was supposed to be facilitator this month, but this is the zoom link (it's the same every month): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86781527817?pwd=TkxUREdQZ0k3QTNUYjNrQ2F2b0tMUT09

Yes, we will meet tonight via Zoom. 

The ice storm that hit Sunday morning knocked out the power for a majority of households in Nashville. Many (including my house) are still without power, but for those that can make it here is a Zoom Link:

Meeting ID: 867 8152 7817
Passcode: 444951

I will kick off the call at 6pm CST for open chatter and at 6:30 we will move into the presentations.

We have a really cool one with Will Smith on his language Oly

We also have plenty of time for folks to show off their Advent of Code solutions.

Look forward to seeing you all in 2.5 hours.
