[Chicken-users] [Ann] Next meeting of the MSLUG |

The next meeting will be on November 22, 2006.
Talk: Factor: a non-trivial stack language, by Slava Pestov.
I will start with a quick overview of key language features found in Factor
(higher-order functions, generic functions, continuations, code-as-data...),
and how they relate to abstractions you know and love from Common Lisp and
Scheme. I will attempt to explain the philosophy of programming with a stack. I
will then talk about the architecture of the Factor compiler, which implements
some interesting optimizations I developed which are specific to stack-based
languages. Finally I will give an overview of the Factor user interface
framework. The presentation slides will actually be displayed by a Factor
program running on my laptop (with PDF dumps as backup), and I will be able to
do a little bit of live coding (assuming my software doesn't fail horribly).

See you there!
