<br>&gt; variations thereon and some of their ecosystem&quot;) because the amount of<br>&gt; material I had attempted to cover at ACCU had proven far too much for<br>&gt; 2 hours (and Baypiggies&#39; talks are shorter than that). And even the
<br>&gt; full ACCU talk didn&#39;t touch on all the issues you want ( e.g., no<br>&gt; Erlang -- and only a part of async I/O, no mention of the gyrations<br>&gt; you need on Windows to do _general_ async I/O there).<br>&gt;
<br>&gt; I&#39;m quite happy to let Aahz talk instead (I can talk in Dec, Jan, or<br>&gt; whenever) if that&#39;s preferred, though I think my talk might be more<br>&gt; elementary (but also more generic/abstract/less task-oriented) than
