+ How do we make dynamic languages fast? Today, modern Javascript engines + have demonstrated that programs written in dynamically typed scripting lan- + guages can be executed close to the speed of programs written in languages + with static types. So how did we get here? How do we extract precious type + information from programs at runtime? If any variable can hold a value of any + type, then how can we optimize well? +
++ This talk covers a bit of the history of the techniques used in this space, and + tries to summarize, in broad strokes, how those techniques come together to + enable efficient jit-compilation of dynamically typed programs. + To do the topic justice, Kannan Vijayan will be talking the Monday and + Tuesday March 9th and 10th. +
++ Does that mean two consecutive days of free food? Yes it does. +
