Programming Distributed Systems - Keynote

Explore the challenges and innovations in programming distributed systems through this keynote address from Code BEAM America 2024. Delve into how concepts from programming languages can simplify large-scale programming without compromising performance, correctness, or expressiveness. Discover how minor adjustments to modern imperative programming languages can eliminate common errors related to replica consistency and concurrency with minimal programmer effort. Examine the potential for new language designs to unlock novel systems designs, resulting in more comprehensible protocols and enhanced performance. Conclude by envisioning the role a cloud-centric programming language could play in shaping the next generation of distributed programs. Gain valuable insights into the future of distributed systems programming in this 45-minute presentation by Mae Milano.
