The Rise of Loom and the Evolution of Reactive Programming
On Thursday, October 22nd at 5:00 PM John A. De Goes will be giving a talk to the online meetup of ZIO London on "The Rise of Loom and the Evolution of Reactive Programming".
Reactive programming is a computing paradigm built on non-blocking concurrency, and it has played a giant role in shaping fast and scalable libraries and frameworks in the JVM ecosystem.
Yet in the distance, a hugely anticipated change to the JVM dubbed "Project Loom" promises to upend this massive ecosystem by bringing "green threads" to the JVM.
In this presentation, John A. De Goes, author of the ZIO library for non-blocking concurrency, introduces Project Loom and highlights its importance for the future of the JVM. The presentation explores reactive programming's role in building scalable applications, explains how Project Loom will eliminate the need for special libraries or frameworks, and details the architectural enhancements this will enable for tools like ZIO, positioning the JVM as an enduring platform for server-side development.
