Lisperium - A Blockchain-based Interplanetary LISP Machine.

Welcome to another double bill of the Clojure meetup.

I, Lisperium - a Blockchain-based Interplanetary LISP Machine.

Abstract: Implementing a LISP interpreter in Elixir. Bonus:
experimental features such as blockchain-inspired hash consing and
Ethereum-like gas mechanism as a solution for the Halting Problem.

Bio: Zvi specializes in distributed systems and is the CTO of
Nivertech, a consulting company. Lately, he has been closely watching
crypto-related technologies, in particular blockchains and smart
contracts.

II, Scheming against Clojure

The news of GraalVM has brought up the notion of fast command line
programs written in Clojure (fast in terms of startup time). In this
talk, I will present another option that lies well within reach of
Clojure programmers: writing in Scheme. Sure, Clojure is an
advancement over Scheme in terms of language design, but I’ll make the
case that certain scenarios lend themselves well to Scheme. It also
provides lots of interesting options via its various
implementations. In this talk, I will show you how to navigate the
Scheme world, answering questions such as: What implementation to choose? How to write portable code? Finally, I'll expand on the development experience awaiting the intrepid Clojurian with a Scheme hat on.

We will meet this time at WeWork, Ibn-Gabirol 30. Entrance is from London Ministore.
