We had a great meetup last night! There were 9 of us who got together at Orsos, had some great food, plenty of drinks, too many laughs and a lot of excellent conversation.
First, I'd like to thank Matt Griswold for sponsoring & hosting the evening. Thank you thank you thank you. Next, I thought I would put together a few links (which I'll also post to the wiki page) pointing to a few of the things we talked about last night. I couldn't hear everything at the table, so these are the items I remember. * Celluloid (Ruby Actors) https://github.com/tarcieri/celluloid http://www.unlimitednovelty.com/2011/09/object-oriented-concurrency-deep-dive.html (and others) * Lua http://www.lua.org/ * Zed Shaw If you want to see the rant between Pieter & Zed, look at Pieter's twitter messages from Aug 22, 2011. Also, a fine reddit thread where Zed got pissed and created his own competitor to 0mq. He basically wrote it in a day or two, released it, and never touched it again. Note the dates on this git repository and the date of the Pieter/Zed twitter smackdown. :) http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/jq77w/zed_shaw_the_petrichor_protocol_primitives/ * Pieter Hintjens http://unprotocols.org/blog:17 (His book) http://softwareandsilicon.com/ * Pauseless GC in Java Great interview... links to the whitepaper that gives the technical details: http://www.infoq.com/interviews/click-gc-azul * FIX & FIX/FAST quickfast.org/ http://www.openfast.org/ http://quickfixengine.org/ (And when I push it, my Ruby FIX library will be here) http://github.com/chuckremes/ruby-fix-api Thank you to everyone who participated. We will probably do a quarterly meetup in Chicago going forward, so look for an announcement sometime in January 2012. cr _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
