I love the topic it is to bad you chose the February 26 since there is a Python meet up group at the same time
http://montrealpython.org/ that I am committed to.

No chance to re schedule I guess I would love to hear that about VLAM compile?

Hi everybody,

This is an announce for the next meeting of the Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group.

What: Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group Meeting -- The Design of VLAM Compyle : a tower of languages from Python to C++ using Scheme
When: *Thursday* February 26th 7pm
Where: Room 3195, André-Aisenstadt Building, Université de Montréal, 2920 chemin de la Tour (you can find a plan of the UdeM campus here:
http://www.stcum.qc.ca/metro/images/c56.pdf)

Marc-Antoine Desroches will give a presentation about the design choices made while building VLAM Compyle, a just-in-time compiler for Python.  Benefits and challenges associated with a language-based design will be discussed.

``VLAM Compyle makes it possible to combine the expressive power of dynamic programming languages with the high performance of the best
C++ compilers by transforming python code into optimized dynamically
linked libraries.''

As usual, we'll go to the pub after the presentation.

See you there!


Guillaume
