The February meeting is just around the corner this coming Thursday February 5th at 6 pm.
On tap for this month:
- Nate Young – Functional programming with Javascript
- Alex Miller – Actor concurrency with Erlang
Nate will be talking about some aspects of the Lambda Calculus and how they can be implemented in Javascript and how to use method chaining/continuation passing to develop event-driven web pages.
Alex will be talking about actor concurrency, which is a different model for concurrency than the more common shared state and locks model that is prevalent today. It’s based on processes (light-weight user-space threads) and message-passing. Erlang is probably the best-known language to embrace actor concurrency and will be the focus of the examples.
