Concurrency talk?

[grrtrr]

Do you have anything specific in mind for concurrency? It is something I am interested in, too.

[nathany]

People were asking for talks on concurrency at the last meetup. That could span quite a few topics/talks.

[grrtrr]

Would be happy to prepare something, now that the date has moved (October is still busy).
Is there any particular topic or focus (introductory, packages, patterns, caveats) or preference you'd like me to prepare for?

[nathany]

We have one talk:
"concurrency in go: an introduction to channels" - Tobias Renwick (@qubies)

@grrtrr Any ideas for something that would complement that talk? Or perhaps something entirely different that you've played around with lately?

[grrtrr]

@nathany - I am not sure that I can add useful context to this.

Over the months observed that the Actor Model proves really very useful for concurrent programming.

Some projects and frameworks now exist [1, 2, 3], but I have not looked in depth at any.

Hence my suggestion: Peter Bourgon gave a nice talk on concurrent programming. Since he worked at the same place as Bryan Boreham, there is some mention, along with best practices.
