Description: Slides and more info: http://www.codemesh.io/codemesh2015/heather-millernnThe functional programming paradigm nicely fits problems in distributed programming. For example, moving computation to data can achieve multi-fold improvements in latency and throughput of big-data-style applications.nnIn this talk, I'll present some of our ongoing work on a new programming model for asynchronous and distributed programming. By bringing together recent advances in type systems research and new language fe
