PDC '09 Video For Parallel and Asynchronous Programming

Just wanted to link to this for future reference. Been watching this while trying to test a deadlock from hell (I *HATE* WinDbg!!), thought it was interesting.

It never dawned on me until watching this video that F# with its extensive "automagical" parallel-oriented semantics would a) be a killer toolset for Silverlight and WPF for producing very highly responsive UI, and b) be a brilliantly terse yet readable language (a cross between Python and PowerShell, except only in the good ways) to produce asynchronous code that is much easier to maintain than the C# equivalent.
