Hello,
There will be a talk on Fortress ( a new OO/Functional language from Sun) on Wednesday June 25 at 6:30pm in Manhattan.
Abstract:
The Java Programming Language revolutionized programming with two simple concepts: "Write once run anywhere", and Garbage Collection. This led to a big step up in programmer productivity. Project Fortress does it again. This time we give you multiprocessor performance without having to code threads, locks, or load balancing. Can you say "Implicit Parallelism" and "Transactional Memory"? We also give you a growable language (small fixed core), strong static typing (more errors caught at compile time), and mathematical notation. This talk will focus on the strengths of Fortress as a programming language, as well as a deep dive into implementation issues.
