Ants in My Chans

In this talk Rhishikesh will discuss the different concurrency primitives in Clojure and how they compare to each other. He will also try and describe the concurrency techniques used in Mobile apps by ObjC and Swift developers and how they stack up against Clojure’s support. Rhishikesh will also talk about how mobile apps can benefit from Clojure immutability and concurrency patterns.

You’ll hear discussed the merits and demerits of each approach and some pointers on which ones are suitable for which scenarios and a couple of examples to guide the talk through including the famous ants simulation project re-written using core.async channels and Swift.
