A year ago, Jan Clark, known as the creator of the Freenet Distributed Network , launched another revolutionary initiative. He proposed creating a new programming language for distributed computing, the logic of which will come “not from data, but from computing”, so that any programs written in such a language could be naturally parallelized over an unlimited number of processors and servers. This is a very important task, given the widespread transition to distributed computing. And still there is no normal framework for creating distributed programs.
Yak Clark made the first prototype of the Swarm language based on Scala 2.8. Here are the source codes and installation instructions .
Ian Clark himself explains the Swarm concept in a 36-minute presentation that he recently prepared for the IEEE P2P '09 Seattle conference.
