I will be in town the Monday before the summit. I would like to have an
informal (even compared to the summit :-)) hacking session where I can

* have a more in depth "C++ Clinic" to talk about C++ eleventy and beyond
language features that are useful for TS, with a focus on how to use them
in TS.
* Talk about YAML and our implementations of parsing YAML. Several of us
have been working in this area and we should have an in depth discussion on
consolidating our approaches.

Let me know if there's any interest in any one but me attending.

P.S. For C++, the major topics I want to hit are

* Variadic templates - this is the replacement for C varargs, we need to
switch over.
* Hash tables and what to use inside TS for different use cases.
* std::string_view and how to use it well.
* TextView and how to do faster and more robust parsing.

I may update this later, or if any one has specific things they'd like me
to talk about, let me know.

ducks instead.*
*It's easier that way. *- Genesis : Duke : VI 25-28

I've made travel arrangements already and my plane doesn't arrive until
1pm. I'll try to get to this as soon as possible.
thanks

+1, this is a good idea.

I have a room at Oath for Monday and Thursday. We'll see about Thursday,
but I'll be there all day Monday. Ping me for access.

Alan,
Can you clarify if Monday (Oct 1) is hackday or C++ clinic?

Both. No one is going to spend all day listening to me yammer about C++. if
anyone wants to come and just hack ATS, that's fine. Or hack ATS and ask
questions about specific internal libraries or C++, that's cool too. At
some time in the afternoon we'll have having a working group on YAML and
ATS with Randall Meyer, John Rushford, and me. Anyone else who wants to
participate is welcome. We'll be discussing things we've done to support
the change over to YAML configurations, and work on future plans / guide
lines. I am told Randall will be making a more formal presentation to the
group, this working group is for people slinging YAML code. Unfortunately
due to travel issues I can't give a specific time, but I'd guess starting
around 2-3 PM, when John gets here.

I am told I have a room for this in Building G, second floor, class rooms 7
and 8. I will try to arrive early and be on IRC and Slack.
