I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining Ruby great such as Yehuda Katz, José Valim, and Ilya Grigorik on the speakers list at this year’s Golden Gate Ruby Conference. My talk will be on the Go programming language.
Ruby takes inspiration from many programming languages that came before it. It aspires to make complicated programming tasks simpler. Go provides a similar simplification for lock-free concurrent programming though a few simple language features. Even though Ruby is over ten years old, this is no time to stop looking outwards for inspiration.
Come see an introduction to Go, a demonstration of how Go does concurrency, and how these concepts are applicable within the Ruby community.
