Living Computation: Robust-first programming in ULAM

…s and suckers! Sure, everyone talks a big game about eventual consistency, but who's signing up to use an eventually consistent CPU? Dave freakin' Ackley, that's who. And the whole thing would sound like blue-sky bullshit except he's out there actually building it. I think the best place to start is this demo of a network switch made out of cells: link to this video (and then watch the rest of the video if you liked that) His more recent videos are weekly updates on a "T2 Tile" prototype made out of 3d printed parts, custom PCBs, and like a hundred BeagleBones: link Also, all his code is on GitHub: link…

Ulam: A language for robust-first computation

There's also a more recent 'router' demo(1) that -- though still rigid and rectangular -- does build its own boundary rather than relying on the grid boundary. (1) link to this video
