Erlang Warps Your Mind: Concurrency-Oriented Programming

Erlang is a programming language designed for the Internet Age, although it pre-dates the Web. It is a language designed for multi-core computers, although it pre-dates them too. It is a "beacon language", to quote Haskell guru Simon Peyton-Jones, in that it more clearly than any other language demonstrates the benefits of concurrency-oriented programming. In this talk, I will try to show how learning Erlang will make you a better programmer.

 

Keywords: Erlang, Concurrency, Scalability, FaultTolerance, Architecture, Design, Languages
