The Secret Sauce of Erlang: Opinionated Language and Focused Community
45 Mins
Invited Talk
Intermediate
As one who joined the Erlang community before it really even was one, I've had reason to consider and debate what makes Erlang special. Because it _is_ special. In this talk, I will summarize some of my own thoughts on the matter, exemplified by some war stories. My thesis is that while the impetus for creating the language is important, the evolution of the community and the niches where Erlang got some traction also play a vital role. Learning what has been successful in Erlang, what hasn't, and why, could give important clues not just to future adopters, but perhaps also to other communities (Elixir?) still developing a personality.
