A Walk Through The Glimmer Virtual Machine

chadhietala commented 7 years ago

Your Name: Chad Hietala
Your twitter handle: chadhietala A few words about yourself: I'm a Senior Staff Engineer at LinkedIn that primarily works on open source solutions. I'm also on the Ember Core Team. Talk title: A Walkthrough The Glimmer Virtual Machine

Talk abstract:
Over the past 2 years I've worked on the rendering engine that is used in Ember and Glimmer applications. Unlike majority of UI frameworks today, the rendering engine is not a Virtual DOM implementation, but rather a virtual machine implementation. In this presentation I will talk about the design decisions we made, a quick overview of the compiler and runtime stacks, and how the VM stacks up against other UI solutions.

Expected length: 35 - 45min

Available months: October (except the week of the 23rd), November

We meet on the second Thursday of the month generally. You can use this handy-dandy list to check dates:

There is likely more to this talk since we have now landed the ability to compile templates into a binary format and currently working on a WebAssembly implementation with the folks at Tilde and Mozilla.

Sweet! We've got people for March and April, but maybe May or June? Need to chat with the other organizers too.

June is the last month I will be living in DC so likely the only option if the other spots are filled.
