Trying again, we were snowed out in January ... can we dig out in time this week ?
Theme: Perl 6 for Xmas is "Sixmas" continues 2016 Feb. 9th - MIT - E51-376 Perl 6 - now with Parallel and Async primitives that work ?! (Perl 6 is here: Part 4 ) *Jonathan Worthington* Lead Dev of Rakudo Perl 6 and founder&architect of MoarVM [appearing via tape delay] "Parallelism and concurrency are different, though often confused. Asynchrony adds yet another concept into the mix. And there are dozens of different approaches to working with these concepts. How do we identify what kind of problem we're dealing with, and pick an approach to solving it? "In this session, I'll look at a range of different problems - some parallel, some concurrent - and show the approaches that may be taken to solve them. And, since I've been working on the Perl 6 parallelism and concurrency features, I'll show how these solutions look in Perl 6." ... and any comments from anyone who's downloaded it and messed with it since Sixmas ....
