Erlang is ideally suited building scalable, fault tolerant systems with minimal investment. It can be used for any conceivable application - not just telecom. It has a multi-decade track record of success. So why does it remain a niche technology?
To answer this question, Garrett turned to science. He conducted a detailed survey across a wide spectrum of programmers, architects, and managers to gather data on this question. In this talk, Garrett will present his findings and reflect on what they could mean for Erlang and its community.
Erlang adoption is important. It makes your job easier when Erlang is supported by your company and customers. It's easier to grow teams when there are more Erlang programmers. The language itself will improve as it is applied across more domains. If you're interested in this topic - and want data rather than personal opinions - join Garrett in this important discussion.
Talk objectives:
- To present data to better understand how Erlang is used and, more importantly, how and why Erlang is not used.
Target audience:
- Anyone interested in supporting and promoting Erlang adoption, either within their company or within the broader programming community.

We all know that Erlang is great for building complicated distributed systems, but did you know that building a website in Erlang is as easy as using Ruby on Rails? In this talk I'll introduce you to Chicago ...
Deployment Options: How To Ship New Code Without Taking Your System Down
Erlang is quite famous for long-running interruption-free installations. But how is this achieved in practice while still evolving the software?
We will look at different deployment options, from simple to advanced:
1. Deployment by restart
2. Hot code reloading
3. Release handling
See hot ...

Software is difficult because the parts don't fit together. Why is this? Can we do anything about this? And what's this got to do with Erlang? Come to my talk and you'll find out! ...
PBT with tools like QuickCheck and Proper are quite powerful, but building the models to test against is still probably the hardest part. I aim to use a Logic Programming tool (Kanrem or Prolog) to create the model and validate the results.
Talk objectives:
To show how to use the powerful tools ...
I'm a language nut. I love trying them out, and I love thinking about their design and implementation. (I know, it's sad.) I came across Ruby in 1998 because I was an avid reader of comp.lang.misc (ask your parents). I downloaded it, compiled it, and fell in love. As with ...
In this talk will discuss the circumstances that led to Erlang, the design choices that were made, what the future holds for Erlang and how it all relates to building scalable distributed systems now.

The BEAM, the Erlang VM, was designed to implement Erlang. This has led to that the features it provides and its limitations are different from most other VMs. In this talk we will why the BEAM looks like it does and how this affects the implementation of languages on it. ...

One of the great things with Erlang is how easy it is to distribute. Distributed Erlang makes applications transparent when porting them from a single computer to multiple computers in a network. There are still areas for improvement though, and the OTP team is working on ...
