Joe Armstrong's Erlang talks

In the early days of computing there were many good ideas that were 'before their time' and for one reason or another, these ideas were dropped! As time passes, perhaps we should revisit some of these ideas. What were the good ideas that we have dropped? Which ideas should be resurrected? What were the silly idea of the past and what can we learn from these? In this talk, I'll visit ideas, old and new and see how they relate to the current needs of our community and our current work. I'll probably also rant on about Erlang and Elixir and how they can be used to solve some of the ideas that we have forgotten about.

Computer scientists think that we can organize knowledge in a systematic way but Nelson thought this was impossible. All there is is knowledge and links. A Tiddlywiki is a self-contained system that organizes data in a non-hierarchical manner allowing it to be read and authored in a non-linear manner. This talk will go through the evolution of hypertext, following the evolution of ideas from Vannevar Bush to Ted Nelson and thence to the World Wide Web. Our goal is to extend the boundaries of the Tiddlywiki to a larger distributed system, that's where Erlang comes in. We'll talk about the problems encountered in turning small consistent data collections of dense knowledge into larger distributed systems with sparse knowledge.

We want to write systems that work reasonable well even if there are errors in the code. This is possible, and the results have been used in production systems for many years. This talk outlines the do's and don'ts of error handling. Things you should do if you want to write fault tolerant code, and things you should not do.

Here is our #TalkConcurrency interview with Joe Armstrong at the Department of Computer Science, Cambridge University. About Joe Armstrong Joe made his name by co-creating Erlang alongside Robert Virding and Mike Williams in the 1980s at the Ericsson Computer Science Labs. Before that, he was debugging programs in exchange for beer whilst studying at University College London. He later received a Ph. D. in computer science from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden in 2003. Joe is the author of a number of key books on the topic of Erlang and beyond this including Concurrent Programming in Erlang, Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World and Coders At Work. Interview Date: 07.11.2018 Read the full transcript here: https://www.erlang-solutions.com/blog/let-s-talkconcurrency-with-joe-armstrong.html

Writing software that is fault tolerant is tricky. Faults in software can cause catastrophic and very expensive errors. In this talk I’ll describe the methods I have used to build fault tolerant systems. It turns out that these methods can also be use to build scalable and secure systems, so I’ll talk about these and how such systems should be structured. *Joe Armstrong Joe Armstrong has been programming for 49 years. He was Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He invented Erlang, has worked as an entrepreneur and has written several books on computing. **************** Studencki Festiwal Informatyczny to coroczna impreza non-profit organizowana przez studentów czterech krakowskich uczelni.

Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2013 More info and slides on the website: http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/SFBay2013/talks Software is difficult because the parts don't fit together. Why is this? Can we do anything about this? And what's this got to do with Erlang? Come to my talk and you'll find out!

When we write a program, we just want it to run faster when we run it on a multicore. If I have a 10 core computer I just want it to run 10 times faster, if I have a 100 core computer it should run 100 times faster. When we program in Erlang this is approximately true. Our goal is that applications run 0.75 x N times faster on an N-core computer. In this talk I'll explain how we do this. Joe Armstrong is the inventor of the Erlang programming language. He has a PhD in computer science from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He has worked in industry, research and as an entrepreneur and is the author of several books on concurrent programming.

Erlang User Conference 2013 More info and slides on the website: http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/ErlangUserConference2013/talks The three of us (Joe, Robert and Mike) have more than 100 years combined experience of programming. We have noticed the vast majority of software development projects use programming languages based on concepts which were developed close on a half a century ago. Tools and development environments have changed, but with few exceptions the basic paradigms remain the same. We will reflect on our experience, what is good, what is bad and what is ugly. How did the past and our experience influence us when we developed Erlang.

Erlang has been around for nearly 30 years, and even though it essentially runs European telecom, many programmers are just starting to hear about it. In our fourth episode of Breaking Open, Joe Armstrong sits down for a frank discussion on the language he co-invented. Joe and our host, Marakana CEO Marko Gargenta, discuss the provenance and motivations of the language, where it exists in the open source landscape, and how the tasks it was designed to handle three decades ago are especially relevant today, such as concurrency. "It wasn't designed for big data, but it was designed for massive concurrency. If you go to planetary-scale computations, or very, very large-scale computations, you have to make these things self-repairing and self-configuring." ** Interested in Erlang training? Head to http://crcl.to/erlang to check out our courses

Visit our website https://softwaredaily.com “Mutable state is the root of all evil.” Erlang is a functional, concurrent programming language that was originally designed within Ericsson in the 1980’s. It was built to support distributed, fault-tolerant, non-stop applications suitable for telecommunications infrastructure. Joe Armstrong is one of the designers of Erlang, and the chief architect of the Open Telecom Platform (OTP), a framework for building Erlang applications. Questions Why has Erlang persisted as such a popular tool for communications platforms? In the domain of telecom, what were the valuable features of languages like Lisp and Prolog? How did Erlang germinate? Can you give a high level description for how someone using Erlang should be thinking about concurrency? What are the advantages of functional programming languages? Why did object oriented programming become so prevalent and so widely used? How has the Erlang community changed over time?
