Communicating Sequential Processes
summary
The talk explains using message-passing instead of shared-memory threads to handle concurrency and build scalable software, contrasting mutex/semaphore-based synchronization with the Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and Actor models. It gives concrete examples and implementations in Go (goroutines/channels), Akka, and Elixir (Erlang VM/actor-style processes) to show how to construct highly scalable applications.
