Structured concurrency and Lua (part 1)

John Belmonte, 2022-Sep

I've started writing a toy structured concurrency implementation for the Lua programming language. Some motivations:

• use it as a simple introduction to structured concurrency from the perspective of Lua (this article)
• learn the fundamental properties of structured concurrency and how to implement them
• share code that could become the starting point for a real Lua library and framework

So what is structured concurrency? For now, I'll just say that it's a programming paradigm that makes managing concurrency (arguably the hardest problem of computer science) an order of magnitude easier in many contexts. It achieves this in ways that seem subtle to us—clearly so, since its utility didn't reach critical mass until around 2018[^sc_birth] (just as control structures like functions, if, and while weren't introduced to languages until long after the first compu

Chromium OS ft. Docker

Chromium OS is cool. Chromium OS with crouton is cooler. Chromium OS with Docker is even cooler. This is specifically a guide for the Chromebook Pixel 2 (2015), but I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work with other devices.

1. Create a build environment
2. Customize the kernel
3. Build Chromium OS
4. Flash Chromium OS to USB
5. Install Chromium OS
