| Hello! Who all is in attendance? | |||
| rurban | Lurking | 13:46 | |
| Nothing broke after my GC improvements last month | |||
| Util | rurban++ # N steps forward, with 0 steps back :^) | 13:47 | |
| rurban | I wanted to get the GC string API in for the next major cycle. The moving collectors are 20%-30% faster | 13:48 | |
| moving = string compacting | 13:49 | ||
| And I'm also thinking a lot about guile as perl6 backend. No jit yet, but soon, and I like it a lot | 13:50 | ||
| Not as fast as potion, but it got proper threading and is very mature. Better than moar and the jvm. | |||
| guile 2.2 (the one with the new vm) | 13:51 | ||
| But busy with B::C and cperl until December | 13:52 | ||
| Util | perl6 backend via NQP (like JVM), or standalone (like Niecza)? | ||
| rurban | No idea yet. probably only nqp, like tvmjit | ||
| github.com/fperrad/tvmjit/tree/master/src/nqp | 13:53 | ||
| Util | Sounds good! | 13:54 | |
| rurban | One of their good ideas is to use elf as binary bytecode format with dwarf support | 13:55 | |
| This is a much better format than pbc | 13:57 | ||
| Util | But limited to elf platforms. Would this exclude both Win32 and Darwin? | 13:59 | |
| rurban | No, on all platforms. They have their own elf loaders and writers | 14:00 | |
| It's bytecode, not assembly | |||
| from elf they just took the section handling and format | |||
| Util | Ah! My info was out-of-date. | ||
| rurban | so no .text and .data, but .guile-code and .guile-data or such | 14:01 | |
| but the rest is the same | |||
| .rodata, .bss and so on | |||
| It's basically the same as a .pbc, just using the existing format. | 14:02 | ||
| coff or macho would be the same, but guile is GNU :) | 14:03 | ||
| Util | :) | ||
| rurban | And their MOP and new VM is very efficient, the compiler is CPS like ours but does much better optimizations | 14:04 | |
| I was mainly looking into it because of their CPS, which is not as broken as ours | 14:05 | ||
| Util | I will be interested to see their CPS. | 14:07 | |
| Oh, I left out of my "Doing": Releasing Parrot on Tuesday. | 14:13 | ||
| Anything else to discuss? From anyone? | 14:17 | ||
| OK. Thanks everyone! | 14:20 | ||
| Meeting adjourned. | |||
