This morning I gave my talk about Erlang to a room full of Pythonistas (even people standing!) and it went pretty well considering the fact that was my first talk ever. I already posted the slides online on SlideShare. http://www.slideshare.net/rhymes/erlang-and-python
Tomorrow evening I’m leaving for a trip to London (yes, again!). Just vacation by the way. I’ll be back on the 6th of May. PyCon Tre is coming, in fact I’ll be in Florence from the 7th of May to the 10th to attend it. This year I’m going to speak for the first time. [...]
Erlang is great about concurrency, fault-tolerance and performance but what about the old simple GUI support? I made a quick research and I came up with this: Gtk (my favorite toolkit) is available in two libraries: erlgtk is the first hit in Google but I didn’t manage to compile it in OSX so I dropped [...]
Erlang is a multi-paradigm language since it has functional, declarative and imperative functionalities. Erlang exploits concurrency in a wonderful way through an asynchronous message-passing model. Erlang’s processes are lightweight (about 300 byte each) and the overall architecture is very fast. I’m learning Erlang for fun and yesterday I tried to implement the simplest master/slave architecture: [...]
There’s plenty of messages in the blogosphere about Erlang these days so I’m not gonna make praises for this wonderful tool some more. If you’re interested in concurrency and you had enough with the thread jiggling go check it out and learn message passing with Erlang. After reading here and there I tried to write [...]
