Some background I'm working on building a programming language for digital media programming, which should support concurrency using no-sharing message passing and soft real-time (i.e. do yo...

I am a complete noob when it comes to both Node.Js and Erlang. But wouldn't it be possible to build a Node.js app that emulates Erlang behavior? e.g. you pass json messages across an distributed n...

A faithful implementation of the actor message-passing semantics means that message contents are deep-copied from a logical point-of-view, even for immutable types. Deep-copying of message contents...

Between nodes, message are (must be) passed over TCP/IP. However, by what mechanism are they passed between processes running on the same node? Is TCP/IP used in this case as well? Unix domain sock...

I initially asked this question here, but I've realized that my question is not about a while-true loop. What I want to know is, what's the proper way to do high-performance asynchronous message-pa...

I am in the design phase of a programming language, currently thinking about the concurrency aspects. I need to figure out a consistency model, i.e. how data is handled by concurrent processes prog...

You can declare a method in objective-c and name each parameter twice, basically. I get the idea that this is powerful, but I'm not quite sure how to use it yet... When John Greets Kelly: [ p Gr...

what are the disadvantages of RPC with respect to message passing?

How do i get the location of the file that i used to open my programs with? Example: if i create a new extention ".xyz" say and i tell windows that i want to open the file type .xyz with myapplic...
