Deschutes Tech Guild - July Meetup
EMBARK, 2843 NW Lolo Ave, Bend, OR, USWelcome to the Deschutes Tech Guild! Join us every second Tuesday at Embark for food, drinks, and tech talks.
Who: Joe Henke
What: Adventures in Bootstrapping a Self-Hosted LanguageDetail:
How self-sufficient can you be in solving a programming challenge? What if you had to not only build the solution yourself, but also the language in which that solution was written? Can you implement that language in itself? This talk explores my adventures in seeking this "visceral sense of self-sufficiency" and the side-quests along the way. We'll hit the technical highlights of how I built my own interpreter and compiler, including some fun extras like supporting first class continuations and demonstrating a self-perpetuating compiler backdoor. We'll trace the lineage of thinkers this project draws on back through Graham, Sussman, McCarthy, and Church, among others. And finally, we'll try to square my subjective experience of searching for self-sufficiency yet finding mostly gratitude for all the things I did not build.About the speaker:
Joe is a software engineer. He recently joined Luminai to apply AI to health system operations. Previously, he worked in the defense technology space for 15 years, going from what was then the Department of Defense, to Palantir, then to earlier-stage startups. He holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degrees from MIT.Deschutes Tech Guild is Sponsored By:
