Erlang eXchange 2008: Joe Armstrong on Erlang Keynote: Armstrong on Software: Erlang & SMP
Erlang Keynote: Armstrong on Software: Erlang & SMP
The world is concurrent - but most applications are written in sequential programming languages. This makes programming artificially difficult. From the very beginning, Erlang is designed to program concurrent, scalable distributed applications.
During this keynote, Joe Armstrong, principle designer of Erlang, will describe why Erlang was created and what kind of applications Erlang is suitable for.
This talk will look at
-
The challenges and opportunities for making highly reliable scalable software
- The Erlang approach to concurrency and fault-tolerance
- How Erlang can exploit the power of modern multi-core CPUs
This talk will be a mixture of science and technology, peppered with real-life success stories from the Erlang world.
