Programming concurrency is hard, but the Java.next languages can make things easier. In this talk (Part 4 of the Java.next series), I will demonstrate how to write concurrent applications in Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, and Scala.

Topics will include

• calling the java.util.concurrent APIs
• why locks are harmful
• using immutable objects
• Scala's actor model
• Clojure's Software Transactional Memory and Agents
