It is a valid behaviour to not join a company who use a technology you dislike. Rather continue looking for a job which will make you happy waking up every morning and starting your work.

This is not "introducing BEAM VM" type of website. More like a reference for more reading for those who already tried Erlang or Elixir or LFE or another language running on it. So they should come with at least the initial knowled

Whatever the believers say, it still is not useful as money, and in terms of ridiculously high energy use and impact on the graphics card market, is even harmful. That's a zombie currency. Looks like money, walks like money, quacks lik

As you love your creation, look critical at the actual proposed "savings" of money. This will be totally uninteresting to broadband and local mobile users, but think different countries and most expensive data they offer to users,

It doesn't cost that. Probably been approached multiple times and got tired of replying, so they've set a prohibitive price.

You do not need a large team of Erlang developers though, a much smaller team can hold the project afloat, even hire consultants to fix it and leave it for a few years. Also Erlang dev salaries aren't that stellar, just average what yo

Please put the language it is intended for somewhere as close to the page top as possible. The world isn't all Go.

It had to be balanced around the main carnivore species ruling the online world, the players. Which apparently wasn't done, and then simple respawn with some simple dynamic rules based on population and rate of death, would have done i

Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Having no passion and nothing to do is a sure way to lose everything and ruin your otherwise established life. So better to get to work on your own project now without the fear of going broke. Paint

It is memory not CPU that is the main limitation. Under 20MB RAM you are entering a gray zone, where BEAM barely runs. You can keep removing modules from the standard library and optimising it fit into maybe 8MB RAM (as project GRISP did) b

For E4VM I engineered it so that my Huffman-compressed BEAM bytecode would be much smaller, at some reasonable performance cost. Something like 1:3..1:6 ratio, probably even better. The emulator code was also planned to be very limited, pos

That would be a very different project. No I didn't think about making a no-std web server. At least I don't know what is the demand there, and who's willing to pay for it.

The original gluonvm1 project link is fine, as in its description there are links to its successors. Thank you for caring!

This would mean huge refactoring, which i'm sure they'd never accept. The only way to go was to start something my own or fork. OTP team prefers changes which do not degrade performance, as I'm essentially optimising for size

By using C++ and Rust obviously ARM was on my mind, and I have plenty of test boards ranging from 192kb to hundreds MB of RAM to experiment with. It just never reached that stage. The two main ideas were to be different implementation for l

This is outdated article draft which wasn't published a few years ago when it was fresh, and now it is outdated. It accidentally escaped and now is automatically posted on HN.

The technology for the art is called Wacom Bamboo and I was overdrawing the Erlang logo with some hand scribbles in Inkscape. In fact same technology seems to be used for the original LYSE book and I was using it to translate text in images

Greetings! Author is here. We have no idea how this blog draft escaped into HN, but here it is a few years too late. The Gluon project https://github.com/kvakvs/gluonvm1 isn't live anymore, it was using C++ and it

Substitute a word requires certain language knowledge. This should be tested somehow, so that the application knows the user level. For example, having no prior Spanish knowledge I would not do substitute a word, and i can do listen exercis

GPL? That doesn't encourage too many uses of this code. Especially for commercial purposes.
