#Neotoma
Happy Sunday, let's continue creating our #PEG #PackratParser generator in #GleamLang! Today we'll work on some optimizations of the abstract forms that should produce better generated code. Join me at 1:30PM CDT:

There are still slots available for the Neotoma Paleoecology DB pre-meeting workshop at SVP!

In this workshop you'll learn how to access data from @neotomadb.bsky.social and we'll walk you through some foundational analyses
Going to SVP? Looking for a workshop? Have a student who intends to use the Neotoma DB?

We, Jessica Blois and myself, are doing a workshop. There are slots available, but could fill up as we approach the early registration deadline.

Please share!
