Random Thoughts

I'm blessed with a bevy of great guests this month.  Our first two shows of December are:

• An interview with Groovy savior and developer of Gaelyk, Guillaume LaForge.  We talk about Guillaume's involvement in the Groovy language and details how you can develop Google App Engine web applications using Gaelyk, a Groovy-based library.
• A deeply technical interview with Jonas Boner, the creator of the Akka framework.  Akka provides access to both Actors and Software Transactional Memory, in the form of Transactors.  So, you can mix approaches between transactional memory, message-based asynchronous processing with Actors, and the combination of the two.  Very interesting podcast and complements Episode #37 well (like a good wine and cheese)...

Enjoy!
