Pierre Misse-Chanabier will talk to us about Polyphemus ( https://github.com/hogoww/Polyphemus ) for the Pharo Virtual Machine.
The presentation will focus on how to create Tooling on the Pharo Virtual Machine. (This does not require Virtual machine level knowledge). We will start by taking a look at a few existing tools. We will create one or two small tools, and see how they differ from tooling on the image side.
Pierre Misse Chanabier is a recently graduated PhD with a focused interest on Virtual Machines, Code Generation, and Meta Programming. He worked on and contributed to many different levels and parts of the Pharo ecosystem. He is now working on how to leverage images for more than what they do now. He's currently working at Microdoc ( https://www.microdoc.com ) on the Graal VM. Born in south of France, he currently lives in Lille.
This will be an online meeting from home. This is a repeat of last November's presentation that could not go ahead due to issues with our Zoom account.
