• Modern Async Primitives on iOS, Android, and the Web

  Kotlin also has a construct for asynchronous collections/streams. Kotlin's version of AsyncSequence is called a Flow. Just as Swift's AsyncSequence builds upon prior experience with RxSwift and Combine, Kotlin's Flow APIs build upon earlier stream/collection APIs in the JVM ecosystem: Java's RxJava, Java8 Streams, Project Reactor, and Scala's Akka. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• What are the current hot topics in type theory and static analysis?

  First-class distributed and multicore computing. Swift has first-class “actors” and “distributed” methods. Unison, Erlang, and Elixir are built with distributed being one of the #1 concerns. Though first-class is not super common and I don't really expect it to be because usually libraries are enough (e.g. Scala has Akka and is used WIDELY for distributed); whereas something like linear types and typed effects,...

• Anything close beam/otp for other languages?

  Akka is a library that implements the actor model for JVM languages. Mainly in Scala, but you can use it in Java too, and maybe others. It doesn't feel as ergonomic as Elixir, but if Elixir is too "out there" for the decision makers in your case, this might be a friendlier alternative. Source: about 1 year ago

• Kalix: Move to the Cloud. Extend to the Edge. Go Beyond.

  Kalix builds on the lessons we have learned from more than a decade of building Akka (leveraging the actor model) and our experience helping large (and small) enterprises move to the cloud and use it in the most time, cost, and resource-efficient way possible. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• About Elixir and the microservices architecture

  Note Akka, the Java & friends framework, is working with the actor model and have as main inspiration Erlang to mimic some features of the BEAM on top of the JVM. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• The Case of a Leaky Goroutine

  It's a pity Go didn't have structured concurrency: https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-go-statement-considered-harmful/ There's a library for it: https://github.com/sourcegraph/conc But this goes to one of the things I've been kind of banging on about languages, which is that if it's not in the language, or at least the standard... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Go CLI to calculate total media duraton in directories

  What are possible use cases for this tool? Why would I want to find out the total runtime of all videos in a directory? Also, you might wanna limit concurrency[0] instead of spawning many ffprobe instances at the ~same time. [0]: https://github.com/sourcegraph/conc In another note, ChatGPT suggests this shell command to do the same thing. It doesn't process files... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• The compact overview of JDK 21’s “frozen” feature list

  While virtual threads will be stable in Java 21, Structured Concurrency is still a preview feature. You probably won't see it in production anytime soon. Preview features require a special flag when compiling and running them, and they won't run on newer versions of the JVM. I don't expect to see StructuredTaskScope in common production use before the next LTS version is out. But it doesn't mean you cannot have... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Could I get a code review?

  I'm also a fan of Conc for managing various different concurrency patterns -- don't create manual worker pools for locally distributed tasks if you can use Conc, etc. Source: 11 months ago

• Hello gophers, show me your concurrent code

  I will probably be using more conc too now. Lots of great primitives for dealing with multiple functions returning the same types or errors etc. Source: about 1 year ago
