THE SPEAKER Bernardo started playing around with code at age 11. At age 14 he learned PHP to create a registration website for his game server only to learn SQL Injection the hard way. Since then, the most important missions he went on was being the CTO (aka the solo developer) of an education startup called Responde Aí and building a banking system almost from scratch using mainly Elixir at Stone, a brazillian fintech that did an IPO at NASDAQ in 2018. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

And when it comes to concurrency, the prevalence of threads running riot through mutable shared state can be at laid the doorstep of procedural thinking. But multithreading was not the procedural paradigm's only response to the question of concurrency. In addition to a sprinkling of functional hand-me-downs, many trends in modern languages and libraries bear more than a passing resemblance to their procedural forebears. From cobegin to coroutines, from channels to pipelines, many mechanisms of the past have been pulled into the present. This talk goes back to the sixties and seventies, to a time before the words 'programming' and 'paradigm' had met, to add some history and make sense of current trends. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

KNOWN FOR JAVA SPECS, BUT PROUD OF NEWSPEAK ABSTRACT When working from home, everyone looked at what books were on display on the shelves in the background. Type systems seemed to be very much in vogue, often put there to be seen. In order to not loose momentum, we are planning a panel on Type Systems at Code Mesh! It will be lead by Felienne Hermans of Leiden University. The idea is to discuss the panelists' approach to type systems, the rationale behind their design decisions, and how they have benefited the programming languages they have created. Questions will include, but not be limited to: when do we want type, when are types in the way, and what can we do about that? How extensible should a type system be? Attendees, through the Q&A section of the app, will be able to ask their own questions. With cameras on, don't forget to put your books on display. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

He invented or coinvented many of the ideas which are now standard in functional programming, including pattern matching with guards, list comprehensions and the "list of successes" method for eliminating backtracking. David has a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford and has held professorships at Queen Mary College, London, University of Texas at Austin and the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he has spent most of his career and is now Emeritus Professor of Computation. He is also an Emeritus Professor at Middlesex University, England. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Recent events like the Cobol Covid Crisis of 2020 highlight the risks of technical debt at the heart of our critial infrastructure...and yet there's another, overlooked story about this first general purpose enterprise platform. With design goals familiar to anybody working on BEAM, mainframes pioneered many of the innovations the cool kids take for granted and continue to serve up impressive solutions to the problems we face in a high stakes computing world. Moreover as the Linux Foundation Open Mainframe project celerates its fifth year, ideas and technologies continue to converge, presenting a future where the platform may enjoy a rennassance or at the very least exchange its frumpy image for new found credibility. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) however—with its ephemeral, stateless, and short-lived functions—is only the first step. FaaS is great for processing-intensive, parallelizable workloads, moving data from A to B providing enrichment and transformation along the way. But it is quite limited and constrained in what use-cases it addresses well, which makes it very hard/inefficient to implement general-purpose application development and distributed systems protocols. What’s needed is a next-generation Serverless platform and programming model for general-purpose application development in the new world of real-time data and event-driven systems. What is missing is ways to manage distributed state in a scalable and available fashion, support for long-lived virtual stateful services, ways to physically co-locate data and processing, and options for choosing the right data consistency model for the job. This talk will discuss the challenges, requirements, and introduce you to our proposed solution: Cloudstate—an Open Source project building the next generation Stateful Serverless and leveraging state models such as Event Sourcing, CQRS, and CRDTs, running on Akka, gRPC, Kubernetes, and GraalVM, in a polyglot fashion with support for Go, JavaScript, Java, Swift, Scala, Python, Kotlin, and more. --- THE SPEAKER - Jonas Bonér Entrepreneur, hacker, powder skier, obsessive reader, jazz fanatic, occasional writer and public speaker. Founder and CTO of Lightbend, building a platform and runtime for Reactive Systems. Active contributor to the Open Source community; most notably created the Akka Project and the AspectWerkz Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) compiler. THE SPEAKER - James Roper James is a long time open source contributor and Reactive systems expert. He is the creator of Cloudstate, the framework that brings distributed state management to the serverless world. He also created the Lagom Reactive microservices framework and is a core contributor to Play Framework. --- Code Mesh V Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshio

Fortunately for Elm programmers, the elm-3d-scene package makes it easy to get your 3D shapes moving. And since WebMIDI makes it easy to process realtime audio, we have everything we need to build dance parties in Elm. This talk walks through my experiences with those technologies. I'll review elm-3d-scene, demonstrate how to use MIDI with Elm, and share tips about starting with graphics and animation. Attendees will leave understanding the concepts behind WebGL and WebMIDI, ready to create their own visualizations. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Processing of requests is ultimately about managing of application state and handling of failures. When we outgrow the stateless paradigm, for performance or cost reasons, and enter the world of stateful applications, the challenge becomes even more interesting. In this talk Sergey Bykov will give an overview of two different approaches to building such applications as implemented by Orleans and Temporal. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

While I only scratched the surface of Podman at Code Mesh 2019, I want to dedicate a full talk in 2020. Why is Podman more secure than other container engines? Why can Podman better integrate into modern Linux systems? These and many more questions will be addressed in my talk along with hands-on examples showing recent developments in Podman 2.0, such as: * A new Docker compatible REST API for remote clients * Go and Python bindings for the new REST API * Improved integration of Podman and systemd, and auto updates OBJECTIVE: I will explain in greater detail the attributes and challenges of a modern container engine such as Podman and how it integrates into modern Linux systems. The audience will learn some basics and advanced features of Podman (and Linux), how we can swap Docker with Podman and how we can further secure and lock down containers. AUDIENCE: Developers, system administrators, IT managers, students, researchers. Anybody interested in containers. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/#about Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This talk first gives a brief history of session types, along with a very gentle industry-friendly introduction of session types. I then talk how an extension of session types to multiparty interactions (multiparty session types) was discovered under the collaborations with industry. I then give a summary of our recent research developments on session types for verifying distributed, parallel and concurrent programs, and our collaborations with industry partners with demos. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code Mesh V 2020 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Building My First Lisp Compiler | Ramsey Nasser ABSTRACT In August of 2020 I wrapped up work on a five year project, the Morgan And Grand Iron Clojure (MAGIC) compiler -- my first compiler for a mainstream programming language. MAGIC is written in Clojure and compiles Clojure into bytecode for the C# runtime. I had dabbled in language design and implementation before, but this was the first time I saw a compiler project through to the end. This talk is the story of how the compiler came into its current form, and the challenges encountered and overcome along the way. The focus will be on on the effectiveness of dynamic functional programming as well as the difference between programming language theory and the practical realities of compiler construction. Fans of compilers will enjoy the (horror) stories of the unexpected surprises encountered along the way, and fans of functional programming will enjoy hearing how programming with pure functions and immutable data helped overcome them. And if you are thinking of starting your own compiler project, this talk will be full of advice I wish I had heard when I started mine. OBJECTIVES * Share the story of how I designed and implemented MAGIC * Review parts of the design that have held up and the parts that I would change * Give the audience advice I wish I had heard when I started * Explore the difference between language theory and the realities of practical compilers * Emphasize the positive impact functional programming had on the project AUDIENCE People interested in getting into compiler construction or curious about how programming languages are made • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This allows us to give increasingly precise specifications for functions, and be more confident in their correctness. But, perhaps more importantly, it gives the language implementation more information up front about what a function should do. Therefore, we can use Idris as an interactive assistant, and treat programming as a conversation with the machine. In particular, the Idris system supports program synthesis, generating (fragments of) programs from types. In this talk, I will show the current state of program synthesis in Idris, outline how it works, and discuss some possible future research directions. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

An unlikely chain of events led to his current position as distinguished researcher at Microsoft. Dr. Lamport's initial research in concurrent algorithms made him well-known as the author of LaTeX, a document formatting system for the ever-diminishing class of people who write formulas instead of drawing pictures. He has received five honorary doctorates from European universities, but has always returned home to Palo Alto. This display of patriotism was rewarded with membership in the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences--as well as an honorary doctorate from Brandeis. Dr. Lamport now annoys computer scientists and engineers by urging them to understand an algorithm or system before implementing it, and scares them by saying they should use mathematics. In a vain attempt to get him to talk about other things, the ACM gave him the 2013 Turing Award. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Fifteen years ago, my mentor made me realize that maintainable and sustainable design matters immensely. However the amount of principles and best practices one has to know to achieve this is very intimidating. Moreover they tend to be either too vague or way too specific and it requires years and years of practice to get them right. Too often, we end up falling back on "good enough" approaches (which can be pretty limited in the long run) or over-complicated ones resulting from a zealous application of the above guidelines. In fact all these principles and best practices share some common ideas which all together form the fundamental set of guidelines we should all know about to write sustainable code. In this talk, we'll look at what Functional Design consists of and how it can lead us to techniques to write better software no matter the paradigm you are used to. OBJECTIVE Provide a minimal set of the most fundamental software development best practices.

Multiple approaches to scalable concurrency are used in various programming languages: using OS threads, asynchronous programming styles (“reactive”), syntactic stackless coroutines (async/await), and user-mode threads (fibres). This talk will explore the problem, explain why Java has chosen user-mode threads to tackle it, and compare the various approaches and the tradeoffs they entail. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?
