CORBA, gRPC, OSGI, vert.x, mutiny, Reactive Programming and Quarkus

An airhacks.fm conversation with Clement Escoffier (@clementplop)
about: olivetti s663 with 2MB RAM, enjoying nice modem noises, u.s.
robotics sportster modem, game launch sequence automation, computer
science as fallback strategy, the big O-notation, living in
valence, studying at grenoble university, the internet class with
CGI, Netscape, JavaScript and Pearl, Java Applets with AWT, the
challenge of compiling ADA, starting with Java 1.2, the OSGi
interests and machine to machine communication or IoT, build time
vs. run time versioning checks, working on dependency injection for
Apache Felix, porting OSGi to .net, Java RMI vs. CORBA, the great
Sascha Krakowiak, lamport clocks and paxos, the challenges of
distributed computing, handling failures with CORBA is problematic,
CORBA is gone, WS-* came, the HATEOAS idea of REST, HTTP based RPC
vs. REST, CDI in JavaScript exploration, dependency injection in
JavaScript is challenging, exploring PhoneGap, project wisdom and
hiding the complexity of OSGi, netty became too complicated, moving
from netty to vert.x, starting at RedHat to work on vert.x project,
vert.x does not try to hide the complexity for distributed
programming, using vert.x for microservices, if non blocking
matters - vert.x, best place for reactive programming are event
driven systems, reactive programming is also interesting for
composing asynchronous actions, uni in mutiny, apache kafka is not
the new JMS, mutiny vs. vert.x, confusion with flatMap and
concatMap, reactive programming requires the understanding of large
amount of APIs, mutiny outside quarkus, mutiny on top of reactive
APIs,
