✨This talk was recording Code BEAM America 2022. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebebeamamerica.com ✨ Abstract: Erlang and Elixir are great languages for programming concurrent and fault-tolerant applications yet they still require BEAM to run them on real-world hardware. BEAM is a complex piece of software that leverages general purpose operating systems to enable concurrent applications to scale to incredible levels. But what if you want to run Erlang or Elixir without an OS? Modern operating systems such as Linux are large and complex and can be the wrong choice to deploy on for embedded applications that prioritize security and robustness. What would it take to run the open-source BEAM implementation in a freestanding environment with no external OS services but still presented a partial POSIX system interface? Would this implementation still allow for useful applications? What are the tradeoffs and what features do we need to give up? This talk tries to answer these questions by presenting a recent project that ported BEAM to a freestanding environment for ARMv7 application processors. Let's keep in touch!
