I'm really happy the Erlang and BEAM are finally getting the attention / traction they deserve!
the language was kind of underappreciated or considered very niche for a long time
- macintux 6y agoI came to Erlang (and HN) after this time period, but apparently there was a period during which the language appeared on the HN front page a ridiculous amount, sometime around 2010 perhaps? With the rise of Elixir it’s been getting a fairly steady stream of mentions here.
- HorkHunter 6y agoI'm starting to see the recent interest as well, which I just wanted to complement. I've made myself familiar with Erlang around 2011/2012? encouraged by the writing this amazing book [1]. which is still around and super amazing fast introduction IMHO. unfortunately I have never implemented anything of significance with it. maybe its time :) [1]: https://learnyousomeerlang.com https://learnyousomeerlang.com
- lpil 6y agoThis is the book I learnt Erlang with! If it didn't exist Gleam probably wouldn't either.
- lpil 6y agoYou've found it :) This library is also worth looking at: https://github.com/gleam-experiments/otp_agent https://github.com/gleam-experiments/otp_agent
