Don’t miss the chance to participate in the Erlang Workshop!
The Erlang Workshop brings together the open source, academic, and industrial communities of Erlang, other BEAM-related languages, actor model programming, distribution, and concurrency to discuss techniques, technologies, languages, and other relevant topics.
Important dates:
Paper submission: May 30
Notification: June 27
Camera Ready: July
Join @codebeamio to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Erlang/OTP User Conference!
Don't miss the insightful talk: Documenting Erlang/OTP ⌨
In Erlang/OTP 27 a new way of documenting code will be added, documentation attributes. @garazdawi will go through what the new documentation attributes look like, what makes it different from what we had before and how it may effect your project.
Join Kiko Fernandez and Ingela Andin in their talk at @codebeamio!
As Erlang/OTP developers for Ericsson and the Erlang/OTP team, they will provide insights into the history of Erlang/OTP, focusing on what happened after it became open source.
We’re joined by Louis Pilfold, creator of the Gleam programming language!
We discuss Gleam's inspiration, how it compares to other languages, where it shines, the overwhelming support Louis is getting through GitHub Sponsors & what’s next 🔮
If anyone in the #erlang community has been using the rich compiler error option in Rebar3 over the last year, I’m looking for any feedback or opposition before turning it on by default in the next release: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/pull/2881
A critical vulnerability, named BatBadBut, was discovered in the Rust programming language, affecting not just Rust but also Erlang, Go, Python, Ruby, and potentially others. This vulnerability, with a severity score of 10/10, could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on Windows systems by exploiting how Rust handles batch files. The issue arises from Rust's standard library improperly escaping arguments when invoking batch files on Windows, leading to potential command injection. The vulnerability has been addressed with a fix in Rust version 1.77.2, which developers are urged to update to. Other programming languages and systems, including Node.js, PHP, and Java, are also affected and are working on patches.
I love the ideas in #Erlang, but I’ve never quite gelled with the language. So when I heard someone was porting the runtime to #OCaml, my ears pricked up.
Leandro Ostera joins me this week to explain how he's borrowing BEAM's best bits. 😅
On #scala we have akka library/system for actors, for many years working, so anyone looking into actor systems should definitely check it out too even if just to compare the patterns/design considerations.
