#19435 — Looking for newsgroup about asynchronous programming

Hello,

I've been surfing the Internet a lot now to find any kind of newgroup, discussion group, or mailing list about asynchronous programming or concurrent programming. To my despair I was out of luck. Does anybody have a hint for me? I really would like to discuss issues concerning asynchronous/concurrent programming with some people who know about it and its difficulties and challenges.

Thank you, Oliver

I am not aware of a forum dedicated specifically to this topic.  Usually such things are discussed on forums for advanced topics for individual programming languages or environments.  Having said that there's a fairly good chance that you will find competent peers for this topic here.

Kind regards

robert

There is an easy method. However, it won't get you a good reputation.

Here it is: Simply post your question to comp.lang.c++. Make sure that 
it does not contain the slightest bit of C++ code. I'll set my watch and 
warrant on it that after five minutes someone will tell you that you are 
off-topic in this newsgroup.

With a little bit of luck he will provide a link to a more appropriate 
newsgroup.

Regards,
Stuart

PS: Don't tell them that I have given you this idea ;-)

Good one.

PS: Isn't comp.lang.c even more picky than comp.lang.c++?

I don't know since I don't read comp.lang.c. However, recently I 
hijacked a thread in comp.lang.c++, 'C/C++ question about dynamic 
"static struct"', where I only wanted to ask someone why he prefers C 
over C++ (just wanted to know whether this was due to project 
restrictions or his own free choice).

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the whole thread was crossposted to 
both comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++, and before I could say "blueberry 
cake" I had started just another flame-war between the C and the C++ guys.

That was the least of my intentions (next time I'm going to ask possibly 
inflammatory question by mail). To me it shows that comp.lang.c has 
about the same number of hotheads as comp.lang.c++ (strange enough, not 
the same people).

So I guess you are right, the trick with the fake posting would probably 
have worked with comp.lang.c, too.

Regards,
Stuart

Many NNTP servers/news readers (most?) show receiver time not
sender time.

It is more than 15 years since I directly read those groups, but
clc has always been known to be very picky.

     Have you tried comp.programming.threads?

Not a perfect match, but related:

Try:
comp.lang.erlang.general
(The language based on actors)

Or:
comp.lang.scala.user
(Scala has a certain interest in actors)

If actors is the async paradigm that OP is interested in ...

FWIW, the comp.lang.scala.* groups don't seem to be available via 
all news servers -- I'm only able to access them via news.gmane.org,
as gmane.comp.lang.scala.*.

The gmane server makes email lists available via NNTP, so that's
probably why you can't find comp.lang.scala on other servers.

They are also on XSUsenet. There only seems to be nothing in them.

Thanks for the answers :-). comp.programming.threads is a good idea. I didn't know it exists. Problem is that Google Groups no longer shows a list of existing newsgroups as earlier. Always Google's fault ... I'll try comp.lang.erlang.general as well. I had earlier some contact to Scala people. So I will see whether comp.lang.scala.user will be useful. I'm a bit skeptical, because they seem to be a bit academic and too much in love with their language neglegting real-world issues a bit.

But thanks anyway for all the useful hints!
Cheers, Oliver

Unless you are interested in the very high level approach (let
us call it algorithms or patterns), then you should ask in a group
for the specific language and framework you are using.

Many of the details you need to get right are simply different
in different languages/frameworks.

Java, C++ with POSIX threads and Scala code will be rather different
code.

Even within Java there will be a big difference between Java SE
standalone apps and Java EE apps running inside a Java EE container.
