Video of talk on Swarm
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 5:12PM I created a video of my talk describing Swarm, an novel approach to distributed computation built on the new continuations support in Scala 2.8:

This looks like total crap to me. The amount of things hidden from programmer control is enormous and all that for what ? What does someone gain from this ?
There is also Erlang which offers well-tested solutions to most of the problems mentioned and actually works, today.
@John - I have see you before under other names and I name thee: troll!
I see no point in making sweeping statements with nothing to back you up and then asking a bunch of inane rhetorical questions.
Yes, this is obviously alpha-level software, but I see good potential to it. Even Erlang got to where it is today by incremental changes - if everyone thought like you, no-one would ever start new projects, because, being brand new, they would be less powerful than what is already available. Where then would you find innovation?
Wonderful video... Thanks for all you do!
