Erlang Developers

A group for enthusiasts of Ericsson's peculiar but lovable programming language. Yeah message passing. We don't need any stinking locks!

What is Erlang?

Erlang is a general-purpose concurrent programming language and runtime system. The sequential subset of Erlang is a functional language, with strict evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing. For concurrency it follows the Actor model. It was designed by Ericsson to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-real-time, non-stop applications.

Great talk by Joe Armstrong at QCon regarding his "reverse engineering" of a theory underlying reliable systems:

They call them Erl Lounges in the erlang community :) and I'd be interested.

Thanks for the comments, gents. I am presently on the mainland (and have been for the summer), in southeast Florida for a number of weeks with my folks -- am looking forward to returning to Oahu, and when I do would love to have an Erlang get-together... if there is interest.

re: Erlang and EC2

Amazon's SimpleDB is written in Erlang, so I would be surprised if you had trouble.

I've had no trouble running erlang on EC2 but that's mostly been for personal projects. And not really taking advantage of EC2 beyond using it as a virtual server host.

As for C-nodes I haven't used them but they strike me as very similar to erlang ports. http://erlang.org/doc/tutorial/c_port.html#4 Which I have used when interfacing with python processes and is fairly straight forward (you pass data over stdout / stdin and read off the buffer). The port itself is an erlang process that provides process management for the external process.

Good to know, Anders. I am very intrigued by Erlang and very enthused by its promise to aid me in building a fault-tolerant, scalable, distributed app. Have you any experience: (1) in running Erlang on AWS EC2? (2) building C-nodes?

I've been writing erlang for a couple years now, both as part of a selection of hobby languages and as part of my work.

Hi all. I've actually started actually programming in Erlang... am curious if other members of this group are actually programming in/with Erlang or have joined the group with just interest in Erlang...

Ah nice logo. speaking of message passing has anyone spent much time in model checkers such as the LTSA or more heavily used SPIN?
