I was lucky enough to present a talk about asynchronous concurrency in Clojure (and JavaScript and Ruby as it turned out) on May 27th in Reston. Thanks to FGM and Matt and Russ for organizing and hosting the Capital Area Clojure meetup.
I have the slides available for review from scribd below. There’s plenty about agents and futures in there, plus a look at Evented IO in Node.js and tuple spaces with Rinda. After the break, I also offer a few observations about the content in light of questions asked in the meetup and my own reflections.
