Introduction to Zio Actors

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 14:14:21 -0800

In this post I am going to do a quick introduction to using the ZIO Actors, a library that implements the Actor model using Scala and ZIO a library for asynchroneous and concurrent programming.

Before reading this post it is recommended that you read my two earlier posts Introduction to the Actor Model and Introduction to Akka Typed Using Scala as I have assumed the reader will be familiar with the concepts discussed in those posts. Some basic knowledge of ZIO is assumed.

One of the highlights of 2018 was attending and being part of the Scale By the bay 2018 conference in San Francisco. This by far was the best conference I have ever attended.

The conference had 3 tracks covering the functional programming, reactive programming and data science topics. All the talks were of high quality made even better by highly intelligent audience made up of the most talented stars of our industry.

Moving from Homebrew to Nix Package Manager

Sat, 16 Feb 2019 18:30:40 -0700

As all my friends, colleagues and followers know I am very big on functional programming, so when I heard about nixOS and the nix package manager (A Purely Functional package manager) I really wanted to find out more about it.

Quote from Nix

Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. It provides atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup of build environments.
