About Me
My name is Lukas Diekmann. I studied at the Heinrich-Heine-University in
Düsseldorf, Germany, where I finished my master in computer science.
My research involved dynamic languages and their data types.
Currently I am part of the Software
Development Team in the Department of
Informatics at King's College
London where I explore parsing, lexing, language composition, and editors.

| MGI |
An integration for the Mattermost platform written in Python, that allows receiving and forwarding of Github notifications to specific Mattermost channels. |
| PyPy |
PyPy originally started as a Python interpreter written in Python but over time became a common translation framework for dynamic languages. PyPy aims to provide an easy way to write flexible implementations for different dynamic languages. The implementations can be translated into various environments while automatically adding garbage collection or a tracing JIT in the process. For my master's thesis I developed storage strategies to reduce memory overhead for data types like lists and dictionaries in PyPy. The results were merged into PyPy and have been part of shipping release since version 1.9, released in June 2012. |
