Erlang is a general-purpose, garbage-collected programming language and runtime environment, with built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance.
Erlang is a general-purpose functional programming language and runtime environment. It has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. Erlang is used in several large telecommunication systems from Ericsson. Erlang is open source and available for download on GitHub.
Let's say I write an app in Haskell or Erlang (or any other, doesn't matter) and I want it to work with my gui in a more gui-friendly language (my opinion) let's say Python. How to glue those two? How would you communicate between those two parts of…
Is it possible to recover from a network partition in an mnesia cluster without restarting any of the nodes involved? If so, how does one go about it?
I'm interested specifically in knowing:
How this can be done with the standard OTP mnesia…
Can I format an Erlang binary so that each byte is written in hex? I.e.,
> io:format(???, [<<255, 16>>]).
<>
I don't see an obvious way to do it in io:format documentation, but perhaps I am simply missing one? Converting a binary to list…
Emacs is the IDE of choice for programming Erlang.
There are plenty of good modes (distel, erlware-mode, the default erlang mode,...), but what are your recommendations for setting up Emacs for professional Erlang development?
Closely related questions have been asked before:
Why are most UI frameworks single threaded?.
Should all event-driven frameworks be single-threaded?
But the answers to those questions still leave me unclear on some points.
The asker of the…
Does anyone want to share their erlang vim settings? It seems I can't make it work at all and the worst part is that it doesn't auto-indent automatically.
Is there something outhere called vim-erlang, as in vim-python or something?
If so, what is the storage and memory footprint?
EDIT
I had done some research about this, but failed to find useful information. The site http://www.erlang-embedded.com/ doesn't help at all. The blog article…
Hi I'd like to pick up one FP language (it's always a pain when you work in a position that does not require you learn much), and after doing some research, I felt Erlang and OCaml are the two that I'd really like to get my feet wet for the…
I'm using httpc:request to post some data to a remote service. I have the post working but the data in the body() of the post comes through as is, without any URL-encoding which causes the post to fail when parsed by the remote service.
Is there a…
I've got a project that uses Rebar as build tool. When developing, I would like all my app dependencies that are specified in Rebar.config be compiled & loaded in the shell as easy as possible. I'm using the Erlang shell in Emacs. What's a quick way…
I'm not looking for a Neural Networks library, since I'm creating new kinds of networks. For that I need a good "dataflow" language.
Of course you can do this in C, C++, Java and co. but dealing from scratch with the multithreading etc. would be a…
I read Joe Armstrong's 'Programming Erlang', and the 'n times faster in n core machine' theory. The efficient way to multicore programming in Erlang is to use lots of processes (threads).
I'm a C++ programmer, so I am curious about the difference…
