A bit off-topic: Is there an overview of OTP's design and usage patterns that assumes the reader has minimal Erlang knowledge? I have no Erlang experience, but I am interested in what makes OTP so revered.
- conradfr 6y agoMaybe https://ferd.ca/the-zen-of-erlang.html https://ferd.ca/the-zen-of-erlang.html Or this kind of fun video https://youtu.be/JvBT4XBdoUE https://youtu.be/JvBT4XBdoUE
- codemonkey-zeta 6y agoThanks for sharing. I found the second video to be very entertaining as someone who hasn't seen a lot of Erlang in action. At 32:38 in the video he mentions some issues that plague BEAM which cause some engineers to eschew its use in production. Do you know what issues he could be referring to?
- conradfr 6y agoActually yes he detailed it a bit here https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/bronlx/discover_what_makes_beam_languages_such_as_erlang/eohwr3r/ https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/bronlx/discover_wha...
- rkangel 6y agoIt doesn't provide much detail but "Erlang: The Movie" is definitely worth a watch. It's only 10 minutes long, made by the creators, and is very 80s.
