Erlang is a programming language designed for the Internet Age, although it predates the Web. It is a language designed for multi-core computers, although it predates them too. Erlang and its virtual machine, the BEAM, is the foundation for the second most loved programming language in Stack Overflow’s latest developer survey: Elixir.
In this talk, Erik will explain how the concurrency model and its key design features are helping the software industry power the future of cloud based microservices, mobile apps, the web and machine learning. He will show how the properties derived from functional languages and the principles of fault tolerant computing make the programming model relevant to distributed multi-core architectures in cloud, edge and IoT networks.
- You will learn about some of the tech secrets behind the success of companies like WhatsApp, Klarna, Kivra, TV4 and Ericsson.
- You will understand why Elixir is the second most loved programming language in Stack Overflow’s latest developer survey.
- You will see how the concurrency model simplifies cloud based micro-services, mobile apps, the web and machine learning.
- You will grasp how functional and fault tolerance principles enable distributed multi-core architectures in cloud, edge and IoT networks.
