Portable Parens: Graphical Lisp programs for mobile devices

Techniques for building responsive, touch-friendly GUI applications with functional programming paradigms

Sebastian Crane
<p>Lisp, the second-oldest programming language, has led the way in advanced programming techniques through decades of variants and dialects. This talk will show how Lisp is relevant even in the burgeoning field of mobile Linux distributions, covering four distinct techniques for writing touch-friendly, responsive GUI applications in various Lisp implementations:</p> <ul> <li>Embedding</li> <li>Transpilation</li> <li>Foreign function interfaces</li> <li>Networked microservicing</li> </ul> <p>With fully open source examples for each of the methods, written in Lisp dialects including Clojure, Scheme and Fennel, this talk will weigh up the pros and cons of the different techniques with regard to reliability, performance and long-term sustainability in the software supply chain.</p> <p>Finally, the talk will conclude with a proof-of-concept for a declarative graphical application with GTK4, showcasing the advanced functional programming features offered by Lisp, and demonstrated on a physical PinePhone device running PostmarketOS!</p>

<p>The reMarkable 2 is an eInk tablet, based on the i.MX7 SoC. The tablet ships with a fork of the 4.14 kernel and a custom rootFS built with OpenEmbedded. The vendor kernel is based on the NXP vendor kernel with a large collection of rM2 specific patches on top.</p> <p>This talk discusses the process of adding support for the rM2 to the mainline Linux kernel. The talk first discusses the process of understanding the original boot process and then getting access to a download mechanism and ...

<p>Nemomobile is operating system for mobile devices based on Manjaro Linux and Glacier UI. It mainly developed on PinePhone, but it could be runned also on android devices. The talk will summarize its current status and its direction in future.</p>

<p>I work with Purism SPC on the Librem 5 phone kernel. I regularly post what our team pushes upstream into the mainline kernel at https://puri.sm/posts/author/martin/</p> <p>In this little talk I want to summarize what we've done, describe how we do it and put it into perspective a bit.</p> <p>I'll outline rough future plans and of course encourage to participate in case you own that phone.</p>

<p>OpenMandriva and its predecessors have been in the desktop and server world since the 1990s - now OpenMandriva 4.3 can run on the PinePhone. What did we have to do to get there and what problems have to be solved before it can fully replace that Android phone in my pocket?</p>

<p>The Mobian project was initiated a few days prior to FOSDEM'20, back when the first PinePhones (BraveHeart edition) were arriving in the hands of developers and enthusiasts. From a single-person weekend project aimed at running Debian on one specific device, to one of the major mobile Linux distributions, let's board into a journey through the past, present and future of Mobian!</p>

<p>Most Kobo/Tolino readers offer a well marked console port and often a second UART. If they are not water resistant, they offer an internal µSD card slot containing the whole operating system and bootloader so that sounds like an invitation to do something interesting with them besides just reading books. Especially in prolonged outdoor activities, the display and their low power consumption have their merits. Hardware is quite similar, so you also have chances to get a replacement next ...
