A bit of context

This is a companion Gist for a talk that I gave at React Berlin in April 2015. The fine folks at Bitcrowd recorded all three of the evening's talks, so you can watch mine at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ArhJiMGVDc.

Hi there!

Shared State in pure Functional Programming

Newcomers to Functional Programming are often very confused about the proper way to share state without breaking purity and end up having a mix of pure and impure code that defeats the purpose of having pure FP code in the first place.

Reason why I decided to write up a beginner friendly guide :)

Use Case

We have a program that runs three computations at the same time and updates the internal state to keep track of the

public class Main {
    private static ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
    private static int iterations = 10000000;
  
    public static class Runner {
        // writes to canceled happen before a CAS on suspended
        // reads on canceled happen after a CAS on suspended

Vagrant Setup

This tutorial guides you through creating your first Vagrant project.

We start with a generic Ubuntu VM, and use the Chef provisioning tool to:

• install packages for vim, git
• create user accounts, as specified in included JSON config files
• install specified user dotfiles (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc) from a git repository

Afterwards, we'll see how easy it is to package our newly provisioned VM

• How long will it take to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
• What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?
