FAULT- TOLERANCE AS FIRST PHILOSOPHY.

YOU WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT ERLANG.
LAST NIGHT A FUNCTION SAVED MY LIFE.
TYPING HEAD-FIRST INTO THE GLEAMIVERSE.
WHO WAS THIS BOGDAN, ANYWAY?
BEAM WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY.

POLYMORPHISM AND ME: MY TRIP TO THE PERUVIAN ANDES.
LUERL & THE ALLURE OF LIGHTWEIGHT LANGUAGES.
SUPERVISORS AS A MODEL FOR AI-CENTRIC SOCIETY.
THINKING LIKE A TELEPHONE... IN 2023.
1. The system must be able to handle very large numbers of concurrent activities.

2. Actions must be performed at a certain point in time or within a certain time.

3. Systems may be distributed over several computers.

4. The system is used to control hardware.

5. The software systems are very large.

6. The system exhibits complex functionality such as, feature interaction.

7. The systems should be in continuous operation for many years.

8. Software maintenance (reconfiguration, etc) should be performed without stopping the system.

https://github.com/joearms/erl2 https://github.com/rvirding/erlog https://github.com/tonyrog/ffe https://github.com/marianoguerra/interfix

9. There are stringent quality, and reliability requirements.
