This video was recorded at Code BEAM V 2020 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-v Get involved in the next Code Sync conference - https://codesync.global --- THE FUTURE OF PROGRAMMING by Francesco Cesarini and Veronica Lopez ABSTRACT Whilst Erlang has been ahead of the curve for decades, other communities and technologies are quickly catching up, but not always in the most efficient way. In this talk, Francesco and Veronica share their experiences on the past, present and future of distributed software development in the Erlang Ecosystem. By looking at how systems which by nature were distributed and learning from past mistakes, they map out the evolution of where we are heading, and what we need to do to get there.

Francesco has used Erlang on a daily basis since 1995, starting as an intern at Ericsson’s computer science laboratory, the birthplace of Erlang. He moved on to Ericsson’s Erlang training and consulting arm working on the first release of OTP, applying it to turnkey solutions and flagship telecom applications. In 1999, soon after Erlang was released as open source, he founded Erlang Solutions, who have become the world leaders in Erlang based consulting, contracting, training and systems development. Francesco has worked in major Erlang based projects both within and outside Ericsson, and as Technical Director, has led the development and consulting teams at Erlang Solutions. He is the co-author of 'Erlang Programming' and 'Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP' both published by O'Reilly. Francesco is also a lecturer at the University of Oxford, and has participated in the Future Learn Erlang MOOC, O'Reilly and University of Kent online Master Classes and is a regular conference speaker and tutor.
