With the help of his daughter and a handful of loyal employees, he clings to the life he’s built. What follows is a crusade of detours, espionage, and a paranoid struggle to preserve a vanishing world -- and the only home he’s ever known. \*\*\* *HOW* **If you can't find us before/after the movie, write me a PM (Farit, the host) or post a message in the event chat, I monitor it during the meetup and will pick you up.** This one is early, so let's meet in front of the Actors Studio shortly before the movie, and then afterwards we could go somewhere for a drink or a bite.

Stream Oriented Programming (SOP, SP) is a programming and architectural paradigm for today's ever-growing web, desktop, server and cloud development needs. Various implementations of Futures, Streams, Observables and Signals have been present in web development for years, but their use often failed to match even the least ambitious expectations and it's not for the reasons you think. Reactive Streams in SOP are a fundamental building block, not just another async pattern thrown into the mix. They can help you eliminate entire categories of bugs, reduce your code size by up to 90%, reduce your LLM token usage, deliver smaller bundles and ultimately more reliable and robust applications. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Eversports GmbH Jakov-Lind-Straße 13, 5th Floor 1020 Vienna, Austria **Sponsors:** Eversports Eversports is a Vienna-based company founded in 2013 with the mission to "Make Sports Happen."

Pinot Gris: Ankermann \- Grauburgunder Réserve trocken 2024 2\. Pinot Gris: Kesselring \- Grauburgunder Réserve trocken 2024 3\.

Montepulciano: Guardia dei Mori Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2023 ### [ The Feature Film: Dirty Dancing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rzsa_KEoKs) To accompany our tasting, we will be screening the 1987 classic, ***Dirty Dancing***. Set in the summer of 1963 at the prestigious Kellerman’s Resort, the film is a beautifully choreographed coming-of-age story. It follows Frances "Baby" Houseman as she navigates the transition from the innocent, structured world of her upbringing to the passionate, rhythmic underworld of the resort’s dance staff. It is a story of **defiance, grace, and the courage to break tradition**—themes that resonate deeply with our wine selection. Just as the film moves from the polite upper-class ballrooms to the soulful heat of the staff quarters, our palate will journey from the precise, cool-climate elegance of the **German Réserve whites** to the uninhibited, sun-drenched character of the **Italian Montepulciano**. ** Participation Fee** 25€ per person for Silver Members 30€ per person for Basic Members ** Cash only, please.** **No‑shows will be removed from the group** — let’s keep this community respectful and enjoyable for everyone. ⭐ Optional: Support the Group Until now, I’ve covered all costs for running this group (Meetup fees, organization, etc.) myself.
