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?
