This video was recorded at Code BEAM STO 19 http://bit.ly/2W2vgDC Get involved in Code Sync's next conference http://bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- EIR: INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WORKING WITH BEAM CODE by Hans Elias B. Josephsen THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: BEAM Low-level Compiler TALK LEVEL: Intermediate ABSTRACT Eir is an intermediate representation for Erlang code. It is designed to support advanced code optimizations, and for use with LLVM. During the presentation, two proof-of-concepts will be presented, both utilizing Eir: • Whirl - A proof-of-concept WebAssembly runtime for BEAM languages • Niffy - A tool for automatically generating NIFs from Erlang/Elixir code The talk will serve as a walkthrough of Eir and it's related projects, including where it came from, where it is right now, and where it might be headed in the future.
