Fred probably forgot to mention it, but Joe, Mike, and Robert starred in a short film Erlang: The Movie, a very fine and concise demonstration of fault-tolerance of Erlang.
The film has some magic power that I cannot describe but made me watching it over and over again.
YouTube link to the film with fixed audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXmOlCy0oBM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXmOlCy0oBM
- bjconlan 7y agoI'm glad that Joe (and the entire erlang team) got the deserved recognition while they were alive. I also appreciate the title because of the aforementioned film. I was always curious as to if the Simpsons' 'Hello Joe' was a nod to this.
- exrook 7y agoI'm fairly sure the ending lines: Hello Mike, Hello Robert, Goodbye Joe. were a reference to the movie. I went to go watch it again after reading this but you beat me to posting the link here ;)
- jackdh 7y agoMost definitely a reference, what a touching way to sign off.

- yellowapple 7y agoIn the words of a text-to-speech impression of Joe: "I absolutely love it. That name^H^H^H^Hsong is fucking gangsta."
- nvarsj 7y agoSuch a great film! I’m embarrassed to admit how much time/money went into making a large JVM deployment support 0 downtime upgrades. Remarkable that these basic things are still not easy to do with most modern tech.
