Brad Chamberlain - Without Collaboration Chapel Won't Succeed | My Open Source Experience Podcast

Описание: The collaborative nature of open source is often overlooked by both individuals and companies at first. Contrary to that, many projects and initiatives only succeed when they are developed in an open and collaborative environment. Think about successful, long-living programming languages as an example.

In this My Open Source Experience podcast episode Ildiko is chatting with Brad Chamberlain about the Chapel project. Chapel is an open source programming language that Brad and the community has been developing and maintaining for over 20 years now. It was originally created for supercomputers and HPC use cases to provide a language that is more efficient for machines and programmers alike. However, over the years PCs and laptops evolved to the level of parallelism that Chapel became more widely usable in the industry. Have you tried it already?
