2009 Session: Concurrent Programming with Clojure

Friday, 13:10 - 14:00
Track: Meanwhile

  • Functional programming. Clojure's immutable, persistent data structures encourage side-effect free programming that can easily scales across multiple processor cores.
  • Software Transactional Memory (STM). STM provides a mechanism for managing references and updates across threads.
  • Agents. Agents provide a thread-safe mechanism for asynchronous, uncoordinated updates.
  • Atoms. Atoms provide for synchronous, uncoordinated updates.
  • Dynamic Vars. Dynamic Vars support thread-local state.

Prerequisites

Clojure calls Java directly, and can emit the same byte code that a handcrafted Java program would.

Expectations

Clojure is a dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine with several powerful features for building concurrent applications.
