Big-Bang - The World, Universe, and Network in the Programming Language
Explore the world of functional programming through Racket's Universe library in this 43-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Discover how to control communicating actors, implement an SSH server in a functional style, and teach event-driven programming to middle school students. Journey from the Universe library, used in K-12 outreach projects, to the Network Calculus dialect. Learn how to create interactive, graphical programs using algebraic functions and the big-bang expression. Delve into network connectivity and distributed programming concepts. Examine the Network Calculus language (NC) and its approach to programming with trees of actors. Gain insights from Matthias Felleisen, founder of the PLT research group that created Racket. Participate in an interactive demo midway through the presentation using pre-packaged code (Racket installation recommended).
