Concurrent Affairs - Procedural Programming Unlocked

Explore the often-misunderstood world of procedural programming and its relevance to modern concurrency in this illuminating conference talk from NDC London 2022. Delve into the historical roots of concurrent programming paradigms, tracing their evolution from the 1960s and 1970s to present-day implementations. Discover how concepts like cobegin, coroutines, channels, and pipelines have been reimagined and incorporated into contemporary languages and libraries. Challenge common misconceptions about procedural programming's role in addressing concurrency challenges, and gain insights into how past innovations continue to shape current trends in software development. Uncover the surprising connections between procedural programming techniques and modern approaches to managing concurrent operations, offering a fresh perspective on this often-overlooked paradigm.
