Compiler-Research Monthly Meeting [7 August 2025 at 17:00 CET/8:00PDT]
Vassil Vassilev
Our next meeting will be on 07 August 2025 at 17:00 Geneva (CH) Time .
We are happy to host Anutosh Bhat.
Title: Interpreting C++ in the web through Jupyter
Abstract: While interpreted languages like Python and R dominate interactive data science workflows, compiled languages such as C++ have historically lacked seamless REPL-based environments — particularly in the browser. This talk presents Xeus-Cpp-Lite, a WebAssembly-powered Jupyter kernel that brings interactive C++ programming directly to the browser using JupyterLite.
We’ll explore how this effort bridges modern compiler infrastructure with the Jupyter ecosystem to enable serverless, client-side C++ execution — unlocking a new path for scientific computing, education, and rapid prototyping entirely in the browser.
Speaker: Anutosh Bhat is a scientific software
engineer at QuantStack, working
at the intersection of compilers, Jupyter infrastructure, and
WebAssembly. He contributes to projects such as LLVM, Xeus, and
JupyterLite, and leads efforts to package them for
Emscripten-Forge,
a conda-based distribution for the browser.
Feel free to forward this email to everybody who might be
interested. This talk will be recorded.
