Robert Virding discusses how the core Erlang team took a different path from the rest of the software world in the design and reason of the BEAM itself. Frank Hunleth describes the burgeoning world of IoT, problems that the BEAM is well suited to solve, and now Nerves makes those solutions a reality. Frank Savage takes us to the world of functional GUI, why http isn’t appropriate to solve all problems and how Scenic uses the BEAM to explore solutions in this space.

While at Ericsson AB, Robert was one of the original members of the Ericsson Computer Science Lab, and co-inventor of the Erlang language. He took part in the original system design and contributed much of the original libraries, as well as to the current compiler. While at the lab he also did a lot of work on the implementation of logic and functional languages and on garbage collection. He has also worked as an entrepreneur and was one of the co-founders of one of the first Erlang startups (Bluetail). Robert also worked a number of years at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) Modelling and Simulations Group. He co-authored the first book (Prentice-Hall) on Erlang, and is regularly invited to teach and present throughout the world.
