It's quite performant and memory efficient for many use-cases. But occasionally we find ourselves hitting the limits of what the BEAM can provide us. What happens when we need to interface directly with hardware? Or when a specific part of our application needs to be as fast as possible?. In this talk, Sonny will introduce you to Rust - a systems programming language that aims to empower everyone to build reliable and efficient software and the various methods we can use to integrate with it from the BEAM.

Modula had been designed by Niklaus Wirth the inventor also of Pascal. This talk will discuss the large scale international efforts in the 1980’s to create a standard systems programming language. That work led to Chill by the CCITT and to Ada by the DoD. It is surprising how many strange ways of process communication that were invented. All of those languages, however, were imperative yet Lisp and Prolog had been used for some successful applications at Ericsson. The time was ripe to combine these efforts and the Computer Science Laboratory was set up to take the work further. The new programming language was nearly named EriLang. Erlang is the measure of traffic load well-known to everybody in the telecoms industry and was a much better choice.

Is an abstraction necessary or is it going to couple the code to the implementation? Can I achieve code isolation without overcomplicating? The challenge is to reach the nirvana of simple code isolation verse complex code abstraction. But is it realistically obtainable? The challenge is set: implement patterns that will allow us to just delete & rewrite code in days instead of weeks, weeks instead of months, and months instead of ... version 2.

However the road leading toward software craftsmanship has diverged down many paths. From musician to electrical engineer, chef to software developer, rugby player to local politician, the twist and turns have provided a wide range of experiences that have helped to shape him.

The creation of Pyrlang, a framework for allowing communication between Erlang and Python, was to allow two languages to benefit from each others strengths without needing to redo everything in a new language. We'll present a quick overview of Pyrlang and its capabilities and make some use case discussions around future project within AI / ML and web development.

In this talk, we discuss what is legacy code, how to understand it, and the required mindset needed to tackle it. Since dealing with legacy is mostly about understanding the code, we provide some ideas of what tools to use on the BEAM platform to ease grokking the legacy system. Through battle stories, we provide examples which challenge the job of future developers, suggesting how to avoid them. Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/gabor-olah/ --- THE SPEAKER - GABOR OLAH Developer and consumer of legacy code Gabor was introduced to Erlang during his university studies by participating in the RefactorErl group. He was interested in language design and a lot of academic problems, so this project was an excellent opportunity to get into type systems and other projects. From there, he joined Ericsson Hungary in 2011 to work on telephony switches (mostly on the famous one mentioned in Joe’s book). This taught Gabor to enjoy the complexity of this application. This was the point when Gabor started loving working with legacy code and learned how to work in a team. After three and a half years, he joined a research project inside Ericsson where he was exposed to Executable UML and testing strategies. In 2015, Gabor joined Erlang Solutions where he has been working with different clients (e.g. backbone financial payment solutions) as well as internal products like WombatOAM. Gabor's main professional interests are language design, architecture and math. Gabor likes drawing and painting, watching science fiction movies and series, he is a big Doctor Who fan.

Processes that communicate only by message passing makes building concurrent applications easy. It feels natural. We take it for granted. The inventor of the Actor Model, Dr. Carl Hewitt, says that Erlang does not implement the Actor Model. Erlang co-creators Joe Armstrong and Robert Virding agree with Hewitt. Let's explore Actor Model wrongs & rights with BEAM languages compared to Pony (http://ponylang.io).

While at Sendmail in 2000, a colleague introduced him to Erlang. His world hasn't been the same since. In addition to writing Erlang and occasionally C for the Erlang virtual machine, he has had papers published by USENIX, the Erlang User Conference, and the ACM and has given presentations at Erlang Factory, Code BEAM, and Ricon. Scott works at Wallaroo Labs on a polyglot distributed system of Pony, Python, and C.

But as a user of the tool you do not need to bother about that. It provides a highly automated test environment where it is simple to perform concurrent orchestration of text based interfaces such as shells, interpreters, CLI's etc. Some major design goals are that the test programs should be easy to understand, easy to analyse the outcome of the tests, easy to debug and trace. Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/cons-t-ahs319/ --- THE SPEAKER - CONS T AHS Core developer of network device and network configuration Cons has a long history of writing code, with Lisp and functional languages from early days. Worked with formal methods, language implementation and lecturing at Uppsala University and escaped to a life of speech synthesis, music notation, graphics, networks, imaging, online poker and more language implementation. Currently working at Cisco using Erlang for writing software for network device configuration (ConfD) and network configuration (NSO). Uses lux a lot. Likes typed languages and is targeting the BEAM with a new language. More on Cons T Ahs: https://codesync.global/speaker/cons-t-ahs319/ THE SPEAKER - HAKAN MATTSSON Attended all EUC's since 1997. Made Mnesia a robust DBMS. Wrote escript, reltool, megaco etc. Hakan started working with Erlang/OTP the previous millennium, before the release of OTP R1. Developed Mnesia, Escript, Reltool, Megaco and more. He was the first employee in the OTP team and worked at Ericsson Computer Science Lab. Hakan has attended all EUC'S since 1997 and is now working at Cisco. He is using Erlang of course.

We will talk about our experiences so far and build upon the work of the OTP team by experimenting with a generic behaviour to make custom Erlang distribution implementations easier. Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/peer-stritzinger/ --- THE SPEAKER - PEER STRITZINGER Real Bare Metal Erlang Peer ported Erlang to Hard-Realtime Operating system RTEMS (www.grisp.org). He developed the Hydraprog automotive control unit flashing device, which has been used successfully all over the world for over a decade. Since 2007 the firmware of the device is written mainly in Erlang - including protocol stacks for all existing automotive protocols. Peer is currently developing an industrial transport system controller with Erlang in a small embedded system. Peer's previous experience ranges from low level device drivers to functional languages in industrial and automotive applications, he initially mastered in Physics at the Technical University Munich. He has been working self-employed as a developer since 1987 and also consulted in applied cryptography and protocol design and implementation. He is currently living and working in the idyllic countryside west of Munich, Bavaria.
