First talk of the second day of the Tango Conference was about DReactor. It was given by project author Rick Richardson. What should be mentioned lot's of practical code was shown on this presentation. Also this is the first presentation we filmed in the way that you will see everything happening on the projector screen.
Rick's own wording:
"If Ruby and Erlang had a child, that ghastly
abomination might look something like DReactor. It
is an attempt to offer extreme readability and
extensibility while encouraging fault tolerance and
massive scalability.Writing networked applications
is easy. Writing networked applications to support
tens of thousands concurrent users is hard. Rick will
wal k through the var ious methods of
accommodating network traffic using the Tango API.
Then will showcase the advantages of using
DReactor (built on Tango) for those chores."
