Joint meeting of the Java User Group and EdLambda at the Outhouse.
Our special guest speaker Jeremy Singer from Glasgow University will give his talk
"Thinking outside the box: Optimizing non-Java JVM languages"
Jeremy will look at functional JVM languages, their use of boxed value types, and how this impacts efficiency. He will also discuss optimisations to OpenJDK that could improve boxed integer allocation and method invocation performance.
We will be in a pub, so there will be drinks and NCR will be providing free pizza.
Everyone welcome.
Attending: 1 person.
We're the Edinburgh Java User Group, a group of software engineers, students and interested others.
We promote the adoption and understanding of Java and other JVM languages.
We meet on the last Wednesday of each month at the NCR Offices in Kittle Yards at 7pm. Meetings usually involve a mix of talks and discussions and socialising.
