DESCRIPTION:Perl 6\, Perl 5\, Python\, Ruby\, Lua\, JavaScript\, Java\, C
 #\, and many other languages use virtual machines as their execution env
 ironments. Instead of compiling directly to machine code\, they rely on 
 the presence of an ideal machine built specifically for the language – p
 orting the language to a new architecture often means only porting that 
 virtual machine. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nDoes that sound complicated? It's not. 
 Some of the details of very &#13\;\nefficient and effective virtual mach
 ines are\, but the general ideas are &#13\;\nsimple. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThi
 s talk explains the important components of a virtual machine and &#13\;
 \nhow they fit together. Examples will come from the world of Perl 5\, &
 #13\;\nParrot\, and Perl 6\, but the concepts apply to many languages an
 d VMs. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nYou may never need to hack the guts of your favor
 ite language\, but &#13\;\nunderstanding how they work can help you beco
 me a better programmer. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAs always\, the meeting will be 
 followed by social hour at the LuckyLab. &#13\;\n\n\nTags: perl\, virtua
