Software transactional memory talk (02 Apr 2007)

You can see me giving a talk on STM (specifically the GHC implementation) at Google. I wasn't actually very happy with this talk - I didn't feel like the audience really got it and that's my fault since they were plenty smart enough. I guess I should have taken more time at the beginning to get everything up to speed before diving into the examples. It's very tough, once you know something to remember the aspects that you took to understanding. And, even if you chart it, that doesn't mean that the same steps will work for anyone else.
