The California Smalltalkers meeting on August 13 at 7:00 p.m. PDT will feature a presentation by Craig Latta on his recent work with Catalyst, a WebAssembly GC (WASM GC) implementation of the Open Smalltalk virtual machine. Latta will share surprising results from experiments using AI models to dynamically translate Smalltalk methods into WASM functions.
The talk will also examine the historical evolution of dynamic stack machine optimization and explore BNF-level optimizations enabled by the Epigram compilation framework.
The meeting will additionally include community lightning talks, giving attendees an opportunity to highlight current projects and ideas. Participants are invited to draw inspiration from their peers, and those interested in giving a longer presentation in the future are encouraged to reach out to the organizers.
