The next meeting of the Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group will be held on Wednesday, February 16th 2005.
Speaker: Guillaume Germain, Université de Montréal Subject: Termite - a Lisp for distributed programming
Termite is an experimental language/system that aims to blend the Erlang model of concurrency and distribution into Scheme. Notably it adds to Scheme the notion of lightweight isolated concurrent processes with asynchronous message passing and selective message reception. It also features migration of processes across the network while keeping location transparency.
The language/system and its current implementation will be presented, along with the goals and motivations behind it. Future research and implementation ideas will also be exposed.
