Programming Distributed Systems

Explore the challenges and innovations in programming distributed systems in this 41-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Discover how ideas from programming languages can simplify large-scale programming without compromising performance, correctness, or expressive power. Learn about tweaks to modern imperative programming languages that can eliminate common errors related to replica consistency and concurrency. Examine how new language designs enable novel systems designs, resulting in more comprehensible protocols and improved performance. Conclude by envisioning the potential impact of a cloud-centric programming language on the future of distributed programming. Presented by Mae Milano, an incoming assistant professor at Princeton University and expert in Programming Languages, Distributed Systems, and Databases.
