Designing for Concurrency: the Hilbert’s Hotel Problem in Go
In this article, we want to show how achieving concurrency is the result of an appropriate design. A concurrent solution may turn out to be more elegant and easier to reason about than an equivalent sequential algorithm. To illustrate these concepts we use, as an example, the Hilbert’s Hotel mathematical problem.

The Rise of Asynchronous Collaboration and What It Means for Development Teams
Drew Falkman from @modus-create shares his perspective on Zoom fatigue and the rise of asynchronous collaboration tools. He offers tips for how to get the most out of the tools his team uses -- like Miro, a virtual whiteboard platform, and Trello, a project management tool. He explores the pros and cons of different tools and approaches.

Crank, a New Front-End Framework with Baked-In Asynchronous Rendering - Q&A with Brian Kim
Brian Kim introduces Crank.js, a new front-end framework with baked-in asynchronous rendering. The framework orchestrates front-end applications' tasks and rendering with standard asynchronous generators. Crank strives to be Just JavaScript, and reduces the number of concepts that need to be acquired to write a front-end application. Gone are proprietary notions of asynchronous resources.

Async Streams in C# 8
Asynchronous programming is an important technique for many modern apps to improve responsiveness. C# 8 debuts Async Streams, which allows an async method return multiple values. Bassam Alugili provides an informative introduction to this new technique.

Rescuing Checked Exceptions in Asynchronous Java Code
Java checked exceptions are a handy abstraction for a sequential workflow. When thread switches are introduced, even though the exception abstraction remains valid at the description level, the syntax support is no longer available. This article investigates how to overcome that syntactical limitation.

PyParallel: A Fast Parallel Version of Python
By combining asynchronous I/O with a shared-nothing architecture, PyParallel research project is able to execute code in a parallel context faster than it can using CPython’s normal interpreter. And it does this without removing the GIL. The secret, no reference counting or garbage collection of any kind.

Node.js in Action: Interview and Book Excerpt
Node.js in Action by Mike Cantelon and TJ Holowaychuk, is a book that tries to introduce the platform to web developers coming to Node from established technologies such as Ruby on Rails and PHP. Node.js is an elegant, server-side, JavaScript development environment suitable for scalable, high-performance web applications. Node supports a minimalist server-side JavaScript interface.
