In today's interconnected world, distributed systems are the backbone of applications that require global state sharing and seamless scalability. This presentation will explore how innovations in programming languages can simplify large-scale system development without compromising on key attributes. We'll discuss challenges these systems address, such as fault tolerance, data consistency, and scalability, and explore whether perfect solutions exist. Furthermore, We'll examine the importance of selecting appropriate algorithms/architecture to ensure system robustness and efficiency. We'll also conduct a case study review to understand various aspects of distributed systems in real life.A live demonstration will showcase the construction of a distributed file storage system, illustrating how data replication across nodes ensures fault tolerance and maintains data integrity, even in the event of node failures. This hands-on example will provide attendees with a tangible understanding of the resilience and reliability inherent in well-designed distributed systems. By reimagining programming paradigms, we can pave the way for cloud-centric languages that streamline the development of the next generation of distributed applications. Key Highlights:Understanding Distributed Systems: An overview of the fundamental problems addressed by distributed systems, including scalability, fault tolerance, and data consistency.Programming Language Innovations: Insights into how slight adjustments in programming languages can eliminate common distributed system errors with minimal developer intervention.Live Demonstration: A practical example of building a distributed file storage system, emphasizing data replication and fault tolerance mechanisms.Future Perspectives: Exploring the potential of cloud-centric programming languages in shaping the evolution of distributed applications.
