Thinking in a Highly Concurrent, Mostly-functional Language
Yale Professor Alan Perlis once wrote, <93>A language that doesn<92>t
affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing.<94> To
really appreciate the power of the actor model, no matter if you are using
Go, Rust, AKKA or Erlang, you need to learn to think concurrently. Erlang
has for decades been leading the way in concurrent thinking and developers
from different communities abd backgrounds have a lot to learn from its
approach.
This talk illustrates by example how embracing the Erlang way of thinking
about problems leads to scalable and fault-tolerant designs. Through these
case studies, we will describe how Erlang, and more specifically,
concurrency was done in 1995 when the limit of processes was 30,000, with
an evolution as to how concurrency is used and applied today, when the
limit of simultaneous processes in in the magnitude of millions per
virtual machine. We will also describe techniques of clustering Erlang
nodes within the server side domain, describing how these systems have
evolved as the concurrency model and the underlying hardware got more
powerful.
Francesco Cesarini is the founder of Erlang Solutions
Ltd.:<a href="http://www.erlang-solutions.com/" target="_blank">http://www.erlang-solutions.com</a> He started using Erlang on a daily
bases during an internship at Ericsson<92>s computer science laboratory
with the co-inventors of Erlang. He moved on to Ericsson<92>s Erlang
training and consulting arm working on the first release of the OTP
middleware, applying it to turnkey solutions and flagship telecom
applications. In 1999, soon after Erlang was released as open source, he
founded what has today become Erlang Solutions. He is also the co-author
of Erlang Programming, a book recently published by O<92>Reilly and is in
the process of completing Designing for Scalability With Erlang/OTP. And
in what ever time he has over, you will find him lecturing at Oxford
University. You can follow his ramblings on
