dynamic translation in Catalyst, a WASM GC Squeak virtual machine

Join us for California Smalltalkers! This month, Craig Latta will talk about his recent work with Catalyst, a WASM GC implementation of the Squeak Smalltalk virtual machine. Now that message-sending works, he's working on a bytecode-to-WASM-function translator. Come discuss the long history of dynamic stack machine optimization, and BNF-level optimizations possible with the Epigram compilation framework.

We'll also hear about what you're hacking on in the lightning talks. Draw inspiration from your peers! If you'd like to give a longer presentation, just let us know. See you there!
