Parenscript Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler presentation by Vladimir Sedach
by Marc Feeley 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Happy new year to all the MSLUGers! On January 19, Vladimir Sedach will give a presentation on his Parenscript Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler (http://common-lisp.net/project/parenscript/) - what makes Parenscript different from other X-to-JS compilers, the techniques used to implement Common Lisp features in JS, special use cases supported by Parenscript's approach, Parenscript integration with Emacs/SLIME, and future development directions. I hope you will be able to make it to the meeting. Please RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/Montreal-Scheme-Lisp-Users-Group Marc Feeley

Gambit REPL and MSLUG presentations
by Marc Feeley 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hello all. Here are the PDFs of the presentations I gave at the MSLUG last thursday. http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/Gambit-REPL.pdf http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/Distributed-computing-with-Gambit.pdf Moreover, the code of the demo can be found here: http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Script:MSLUG:teleport… Note that the demo can be executed on Gambit REPL and on the "plain" Gambit. Heterogeneous networks are not a problem... threads can teleport from one platform type (such as an ARM based iPhone) to a platform of another type (such as an x86 Windows). Have fun! Marc

Next meeting: Gambit REPL
by Marc Feeley 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

I did not find someone to give a presentation, and I don't have time to prepare a talk for next thursday. But I'm willing to give it a try in 3 weeks. So... The next meeting will be at the Université de Montréal at 7:00 pm on Thursday November 24. Marc Feeley will give a presentation on the development of Gambit REPL, a version of the Gambit Scheme programming system for iOS and Android devices. Marc will also demonstrate a distributed computing application on iPhones written in a few lines of Scheme code. If you bring your iPhone/iPad or notebook computer, you can participate in the demo! Gambit's web site: http://gambit.iro.umontreal.ca The meeting will be held at the usual place, room 3195 of the Pavillon André-Aisenstadt of the Université de Montréal Campus (building 20 on this map: http://www.umontreal.ca/plancampus/documents/carte-campus.pdf) I hope we can share some beer or meal after the presentation at one of the local restaurants! If you haven't signed up on the MSLUG meetup site, please do so. Moreover, it would be nice if you could RSVP on the meetup site so that we know who is planing to come. Please tell your friends and coworkers about the meeting! The meetup site is at this url: http://www.meetup.com/Montreal-Scheme-Lisp-Users-Group See you on the 24th! Marc

Reboot
by Marc Feeley 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Dear MSLUGers, we haven't had a meeting in a long time and I am hoping we can start having regular meetings again, say once every 2 months. - Please reply to this message if you are interested in having a meeting in November (I propose Thursday November 10 at 7 PM, but if you would prefer another date then please make suggestions) - We need speakers! If you are working with Scheme/Lisp or related language (e.g. JavaScript), then please consider giving a presentation. Don't be shy... we all have a story to tell. If no one comes forward, then I can prepare a talk on the Gambit REPL app for iPhone. I can also ask my students to present some of the work we are doing on the compilation of JavaScript. - You can also propose to me other people who you think might give an interesting presentation. I'll do the arm twisting! Marc

Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group Meetup
by Marc Feeley 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hello. I decided to create a "MEETUP" to publicize our meetings, attract members and organize the meetings (who's coming, etc). Here's the descriptive text I used: Scheme and Lisp are programming languages which are easy for beginners to start using yet are extremely powerful in the hands of expert programmers. The MSLUG aims to bring together people interested in discussing all aspects of the family of languages related to Scheme and Lisp, including JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Erlang. We typically meet at the Université de Montréal in the evening to hear a talk and then end the evening at a local restaurant. Talks are given by members or invited speakers and can be on any topic related to these languages : tutorials, education, commercial uses, programming environments, language interoperability, compilers, neat hacks, demos, etc. We intend to meet roughly every two months. If you use these languages, or are interested in learning them and improving your programming skills, please join us! Please join the meetup group at http://www.meetup.com/Montreal-Scheme-Lisp-Users-Group Marc

Re: [MSLUG] Reboot

Hi, very nice initiative, I would be very very interested by something on javascript, myself being very interesting / closely following what is being done in crankshaft / jaegermonkey by those guys out there. I am not sure that I have what it takes to present something on this (mostly reading related papers & mozilla/google stuff on it) but I am sure you have people that could. There are many things that can be of interest: JITing (method tracing), type inference, runtime code gen, PICs, etc. Something also related to the efforts done by things like luaJIT would be great. Thanks!Alex

Any Erlangers?
by Ahmed Al-Saadi 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hi guys: Are there any latent Erlangers lurking in this group? If so, feel free to join the newly-created erlang-montreal google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/erlang-montreal Erlang is s a functional, concurrent, fault-tolerant and hot-upgradable language with simple syntax, a large global community and multi-domain applications. It should prove useful in any toolbox! Cheers, Ahmed
