  • Polyglot OSGi – Matt Stine – Slides – Video

    • One of the greatest benefits of OSGi is its firewall-esque encapsulation of implementation details. The only traffic that gets in or out is the traffic that you explicitly specify, otherwise all bets are off. The aspiring polyglot can bring in the right tool for the right job by hiding it behind OSGi services as an “implementation detail,” provided that only Java language types are exported. The talk will looks at the pros and cons of this approach, experiment with Groovy, Clojure, and Scala in an OSGI container, and also look at the “gotchas” involved along the way.

Happy Haskell Hackfest!

Haskell Music Jam Session using SuperCollider and it’s awesome Haskell bindings.

SuperCollider is a real-time audio-synthesizer server with great Haskell bindings. People have done some pretty amazing things with it. Basically it is a server that speaks the Open Sound Control binary protocol [3] and produces any sound you can imagine. Using the metaphor of an audio mixer, each client runs on a different channel so we will truly be jamming real-time.

I can provide a server with SuperCollider pre-loaded and client computers can easily install the bindings using Haskell Platform and Cabal. Clients do not need to have SuperCollider installed.

For this meeting only, we will be at Technology Partners, NOT the usual Appistry location!!!
