GOTO Conference 2013
GOTO Conference 2013 includes 3 interviews. Years represented: 2013. Interviewees include Erik Meijer creator Reactive Framework, Ola Bini, and Rich Hickey creator of Clojure.
Interviewee: Rich Hickey creator of Clojure
Video description: Rich Hickey is the creator of the Clojure programming language, a dialect of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). He released Clojure to the Lisp mailing list and it gained popularity through word of mouth and online communities. Hickey believes that the fact that Clojure runs on the stable and well-established JVM has contributed to its success, as it allows users to try something new while still maintaining a connection to the technologies they are familiar with. Hickey also discusses the importance of simplicity and concision in programming languages and the role of language design in enabling programmers to solve problems more effectively.
Interviewee: Erik Meijer creator Reactive Framework
Video description: The Reactive Framework (Rx) is a programming model for dealing with asynchronous data streams, specifically in the context of distributed computing. It was developed by Erik Meijer while he was working at Microsoft and has since become an open-source project. Rx provides a set of libraries and tools for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences and LINQ-style query operators. It is designed to allow developers to easily build responsive and resilient systems that can handle high volumes of data and handle failures gracefully. Rx is implemented in a number of programming languages, including C#, Java, and JavaScript, and has been widely adopted in the software industry.
