In this small article I will show you how you can use the power of functional programming to write data structures for parallel processing that scales well on any number of cores.
What is one of the primary concerns for programmers right now? Writing high performance code that scales well regardless ...

For a while I have looked at the schedule for the JAOO conference in Aarhus, Denmark this year, and thought: What a pity there is so little about functional programming. I mean, functional programming is really moving into the mainstream developer community these years as yet another (and very powerful) ...

During the christmas holidays i had the opportunity to sit down and investigate the functional programming language Erlang, and i was not disappointed at all. I had heard some rumors about this particular language from various sources, particularly when i was at the JAOO conference in September 2007.
