			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just found the excellent <a href="http://www.algorithm.com.au/talks/concurrency-erlang/">Concurrency and Erlang</a> page by André Pang. (I&#8217;m not sure how I got there, but I started from<a href="http://www.simplicidade.org/notes/archives/2008/07/rabbitmq_added.html">a post</a> by Pedro Melo.)</p>
<p>The page has great links to quality articles and resources with commentary and context for each. It also includes sections specific to C, Objective-C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and Haskell.</p>
<p>What, no Perl? Well, using threads in Perl 5 is <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=288022">rather painful</a>. I&#8217;ve never had to use threads with Perl 5 (beyond making DBI thread safe a few years ago) and I&#8217;d be happy to never have to.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I believe people are using threads successfully, though I&#8217;ve no handy links for you beyond pointing out that CPAN offers a number of solid Thread:: modules.</p>
<p>All this reminded me that I&#8217;d never got around to reading Parrot&#8217;s <a href="http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/pdd/pdd25_concurrency.html">Concurrency design document</a>. So I did. I liked it as a statement of direction, though it&#8217;s a little thin on the interaction between schedulers.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t find many interesting links discussing both Parrot and Erlang. An O&#8217;Reilly Radar post called <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/09/parrot-and-multithreading.html">Parrot and Multi-threading</a> from September 2007 was hopeful.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still wondering if Parrot could act as a virtual machine for Erlang. I think that would be a valuable test case for the quality and scalability of the concurrency design.</p>
