Over the last year we discussed Actors (http://www.meetup.com/sc-krk/events/114314972/), Agents (http://www.meetup.com/sc-krk/events/116568962/) and Functional Reactive Programming (http://www.meetup.com/sc-krk/events/145931322/). This time we will expand our knowledge of parallel programming techniques by discussing Communicating Sequential Processes - the model that's behind (among others) Go's Goroutines and Clojure's core.async.

Article to read: Communicating Sequential Processes by C. A. R. Hoare (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~crary/819-f09/Hoare78.pdf)

Abstract from the paper:

This paper suggests that input and output are basic primitives of programming and that parallel composition of communicating sequential processes is a fundamental program structuring method. When combined with a development of Dijkstra's guarded command, these concepts are surprisingly versatile. Their use is illustrated by sample solutions of a variety of familiar programming exercises.

As always, we will discuss the article over free beer, sponsored by Lunar Logic.
