Meeting: The Design of VLAM Compyle : a tower of languages from Python to C++ using Scheme

Date:	March 12, 2009
Speaker:	Marc-Antoine Desroches

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.''

Hopefully, people from the Python community will join us, which should
make for fun and interesting discussions at the pub :)

Everybody is welcome, admission is free, pants are mandatory.
