The first talk of the second day of the conference was "DReactor" by Rick Richardson.
Rick's own wording:
"If Ruby and Erlang had a child, that ghastly
abomination might look something like DReactor. It
is an attempt to offer extreme readability and
extensibility while encouraging fault tolerance and
massive scalability.Writing networked applications
is easy. Writing networked applications to support
tens of thousands concurrent users is hard. Rick will
wal k through the var ious methods of
accommodating network traffic using the Tango API.
Then will showcase the advantages of using
DReactor (built on Tango) for those chores."
D reactor surely proves the power of servers written in the D programming language
