Underrated comment

That's something I would _really hate_ to get called on. "Oh, you're fluent in erlang? Great! You're now responsible for keeping this *extremely important* but ancient codebase from exploding! Here's your company pager-hope you don't believe in nights or weekends!"

@@GSBarlevYou're supposed to burn the man not his soul

​@@GSBarlevAnd it's made by a really excited intern 30 years ago, held on by duck tape, hope, prayers and spaghetti code base regurgitated by the 30 years of maintainers who never cleaned up their technical dept.... with a great documentation that 20 years out of date and only seen by yahoo, not google..

@@GSBarlevStop making out like its ancient not used. Its the power behind the biggest apps in the world. Facebook even tried to move to it but had trouble cross training as their coders had problems understanding stuff like tail end recursion. That ancient codebase will never explode, and it just looks like its being held together with tape from the outside, learn erlang from top to bottom and you will see the code is usually really good and solid.

@@geroutathat is it worth to learn it ??!

I think it was more like ERicsson LANGuage.

Ericson, the telecom operator, was the main supporter for BEAM. Er(icson) Lang(uage).

Also Erlang as in the mathematician, Agner Krarup Erlang, known for his work in statistics and telecommunications.

I mean it's fine really, at least it doesn't define blocks with indentation

@@isodoubIet true, that's the worst

What?

@@mohitjain5552 In the video they said you can create a process and then hang the process forever, so you might want to create a timeout. But the thing is, creating a process in erlang is cheap. You can create millions of them and leave them all hanging waiting and it wont crash your server. On a modern computer you could probably have billions of processes waiting. This can start getting chaotic even if it is acceptable code, so they use pools of processors and they queue calls to make it easier for our brains to understand exactly whats going on.... An example might be "server processes" you might start one for every single logged on person and leave it hanging until they log off, just waiting for them to do stuff. If your sever process crashes, no one else on the sytem is affected at all. If you have lets say 100 million users, and changing the name causes a crash, you can keep everyone online, have 1 million people crash, relaunch all them people instantly in a new server process, and update the running code without ever bringing the server offline. All of that is basically built into standard erlang. It is still impressive by todays standards. A company like facebook usually connects everyone to different computer servers, and if that server goes down, everyone on it goes down. WIth erlang 3 of the people connected to it could crash and the rest would be oblivious. For people who dont know erlang this can create code that looks like its being held together with tape and glue, they will get an error like "Okay 300 people cant send messages, whats going on?" and they look at the code and they cant figure it out, and indeed this is the hardest part of knowing erlang. For example an error you might find in Erlang would be an apple device is sending a packet to the server as ascii encoded, and your sever is pattern matching for binary. You and everyone else log on and its all working fine and you scratch your head.

That is green thread right?

@@julesoscar8921not really

@@julesoscar8921 Its green threads, but it ensures that no thread can block or crash and prevent a switch between threads. It also separates the memory of all threads for more efficient GC.

Do you know of any great resources to learn Elixir? I find the syntax so difficult

@@knightofrohan exercism is great

@@knightofrohan Read books. Unlike popular languages, the bulk of knowledge here is in books, not lessons on UKposts. Lists of these books are easy to find.

Syntax does take some getting used to, but it does get easier. And fun at times. That being said, I wish there were more jobs using the language- or at least, I can't seem to find too many. In my limited 2YOE, this has been the language I've worked with the most, and I find it a shame that I'll have to stick to more conventional options like Java or Python.

Some years back Ericsson still used it and Spotify as well, probably couple other Swedish companies where ex E/// people went

@@SJ-eu7emThere are some products written on it with companies behind them, like RabbitMQ, EMQx, CouchDB, Couchbase, Riak, etc

@@nikhilitty all the jobs I've seen for Erlang require pretty high seniority, because most Erlang programmers with experience are very senior. Same thing with every obscure language I know

The whole "spawn and link" being atomic is really impressive, as is the ability to send functions over channels.

the youtube algo has failed you

Learn you some erlang for great good

@@blackjackjester Ferd is the boss. I also recommend his talk The Zen of Erlang. I've watched it like 7 times.

Gleam is awesome!!

Thats the main reason more people dont use it. I thought it was crazy at first but I really admire it after spending proepr time writing code in it.

Just my thought 🤣

Basically nothing. Most constructor use their old kernel like 4.x

LETS GO!!!

@@0e0Hack yeah!!!!!

Definitely interested in the language. Syntax is very nice and love the toolset kind of like go.

Unless you really need BEAM, you could just as well use OCaml/ReasonML/Rescript or F#.

no thanks. Variables are immutable and it doesn't throw an error when you try to reasign them. It's just another Lang that's gone too deep into Functional programming. It would have been perfect if it was willing to give up some of the fp philosophy for practicality. Otherwise we just have Haskell that looks like Rust running on Beam.

@@chudchadanstudErlang is immutable too

Did you say Grime? - Señor Cleanfist

Gleam seconded!

Better still, learn Elixir

The concepts are pretty elegant. The actual details are rather difficult to deal with. No strings, no records, single-assignment without being functional, no explicit time when code gets updated, the weirdness around authentication, and last I looked the documentation was extremely poor if you weren't already immersed in the environment. However, the seamless concurrency, the ability to upgrade running code (including sending functions in messages), the whole "spawn and link" paradigm, all very neat.

Never not do resume-driven development. RDD FTW

I'm pretty sure he just writes all the code out then records a ctrl-z. Or at least that's how I would have done it. Easier to fix mistakes and typos that way
