Hi all, This coming Monday at the Madlab Lambda Lounge we have an introduction to Erlang by Brett, who is building his business on the language.
We're meeting on at Madlab on Monday 17th March 7pm. Erlang is one of most commercially successful functional languages, which has found its home in robust systems such as telephony switches, Couch DB, Riak and Rabbit MQ. Erlang was originally developed by Erricson for programming highly fault tolerant systems which have attained an alleged 99.9999999% availability. Erlang has lots of cool features which set it apart from many other languages including: - A crash first approach to error handling. - A virtual machine that allows hot swapping code in production without service disruption. - A highly concurrent Actor model, supporting millions of concurrent processes on a single machine. - Pattern matching. Details can be found on the Lambda Lounge website: http://lambdalounge.org.uk/ Additionally we're always looking for talks that are of interest to the functional programming & computer science community. If you'd like to volunteer one, please contact me either by email or through the above website. Hope to see you there.
