Erlang - software for a concurrent world
Posted by Joe Armstrong on May 27, 2008 02:35 AM
Summary
How do you program a multicore computer? Easy - do it in Erlang. Erlang is a concurrent functional programming language designed for programming fault-tolerant systems. With share-nothing semantics and pure message passing, Erlang programs scales on multicore computers. In this talk, Joe introduces Erlang, the ideas of Concurrent Oriented Programming and commercial applications written in Erlang.
Bio
Joe Armstrong is the principle inventor of Erlang and coined the term "Concurrency Oriented Programming". At Ericsson he developed Erlang and was chief architect of the Erlang/OTP system. In 1998 he formed Bluetail, which developed all its products in Erlang. In 2003 he obtain his PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. He is author of the book "Software for a concurrent world".
About the conference
JAOO is the premier European developer conference on software technology, methods and best practices. The conference presents in-depth presentations and tutorials by researchers, engineers and trend-setters in software engineering and technology.

The video and presentation stops at 16:46. Am I the only one or is the video broken? - Lars
-
Hi Lars I just tested it and it seem to be working fine Diana
-
Works fine for me again... Must have been my connection or so. Thanks.
-
Hello, is it possible to download the slides of this excellent presentation ? Thanks - Paul
-
Guys... Flash 10 should be allowed too watch the video.
-
hello where is the presentation ?
-
Does anyone know how I can convert the audio to mp3 format, so I can listen to it on the road?
-
It would be great if we have a function here that we can download the presentation with the slide.
-
Flash 10 is still a beta product, why on earth should InfoQ be required to support a prerelease?
-
Sorry Lars, slide downloads were only available to people who attended JAOO.

One of the nicest things about erlang, which no one talks about, is how it is designed for ultra reliable software. Carrier grade etc. People seem to be used to unreliable terrible software these days, and would rather have things cheap (and disposable). However, erlang promises a higher grade of reliability then I think people are used to. Thats the greatest thing about it for me. The concurrency stuff is a nice side effect.

Steve Vinoski has blogged a lot about Erlang reliability. Check out http://steve.vinoski.net/blog. Also there are quite a few posts in Erlang forums that describe how single assignment, immutability etc. make Erlang a great platform for designing reliable systems. I am +1 with you that reliability is the #1 USP for Erlang.
