[Haifux] RFC: Sys-call-track Meeting

[Shlomi Fish]

I would like to propose to make a sys-call-track developers' "conference"
some time, in which we will discuss its future, its code, the good, the
bad, what has to be improved, what is just as good as it is, etc etc.

I volunteer to give an interactive demonstration of Lex and Yacc (in
Perl). I do not necessitate writing the final parser in Perl, but I'd like
to demonstrate it because Perl is very straightforward and easy to
demonstrate such things, especially if they are interactive.

I'm trying to show how to write and tweak an interpreter for a language
using these tools. And do it interactively with the audience's input and
with them telling me what to do at times. I'll be very surprised
if you can do it with C or C++, with the same ease.

I don't want to start a flame-war here but perl 5 is my choice for the
demonstration, which I'd like to give the way I feel is best.

Enough Lex/Yacc/Perling around - Guy, Muli - being the SysCallTrack Cabal,
do you think it is a good idea to have such a meeting. I believe it was
your idea to give an air of a programming club to Haifux in the first
place.

Regards,

        Shlomi Fish
