Joe Armstrong Talk: Functions + Messages + Concurrency = Erlang

A very good talk (video and slides) by Joe Armstrong from Qcon hosted at InfoQ:

Functions + Messages + Concurrency = Erlang

I was glad to hear several of Joe's talks and enjoyed this one as well

A History of Erlang

There is a really nice paper by Joe Armstrong: A History of Erlang. I was able to read it some time ago, but seem to have forgotten to post about it here.

Good that Ted Leung on the Air featured it again. Among the comments, there is a remark from Ulf Wiger about the history of SMP Erlang.

Steve and Joe on RPC

Joe Armstrong posted a summary of a recent discussion on the erlang-questions mailing list about the problems of the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) mechanism, where Steve Vinoski explained his opinions.

Joe added his opinion as well and explained the Erlang way of handling remote calls.

Steve then wrote about Joe's summary in this article.
