Comparing the Actor Model and CSP Concurrency with Elixir and Clojure

Explore a comprehensive comparison of the Actor model and CSP concurrency paradigms through the lens of Elixir and Clojure in this conference talk from ElixirConf EU 2022. Delve into the unique features of the BEAM VM, including process memory space isolation, preemptive scheduling, and independent generational garbage collection. Gain insights into the similarities and differences between Elixir and Clojure, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the BEAM VM compared to other runtimes like the JVM. Through a series of demonstrations and problem-solving scenarios, discover how these languages approach concurrency challenges. Ideal for developers seeking to enhance their understanding of the BEAM VM, concurrency paradigms, and the contrasts between Elixir, Clojure, and Go's approaches to concurrent programming.
