In the end, I needed to read and write Erlang and JavaScript FFIs for Gleam, which means Gleam requires a JavaScript or Erlang background to build something that everyone thinks is cool. Now I think Gleam is a lightweight wrapper that controls the Erlang VM or the HTML DOM via JavaScript interop. #gleam #erlang #beam #js #javascript #webdev

Now I am also on #Bluesky thanks to https://fed.brid.gy bridge. Works like a charm, but in order to follow Bluesky accounts from #Mastodon they have to follow @ap.brid.gy first.
Finally I can start following more people from #Erlang, #Elixir and #Gleam community.

Found another Erlang gem for a system I'm currently building:

https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/kernel/net_kernel.html#monitor_nodes/2

use :net_kernel.monitor_nodes(true) from e.g. a GenServer and get info messages when a node joins and leaves.

This is so useful and I love it!

Using Erlangs queues is highly recommended. At least read up on them:

So, after fiddling around a bit, I came to a conclusion that trying to run BEAM applications (Erlang/Elixir/etc) in Docker while communicating with them from the host is exhausting.

Mainly because, ironically, BEAM was designed from the ground up to be multi-host, but it requires a discovery service (epmd) to be present on a specific port (4369). So if you want BEAM on your host (with its own epmd), you can't port-forward epmd from your container to its port as well.

Our next DC Elixir event will be a social 🍻

Whether you’re deep into BEAM development or just curious, come hang out and meet others in the community.

I still remember trying to sell people on Erlang back at an old job and it went something like “think of it as concurrent functional lisp” and they were like “Lisp’s syntax is terrible” and I was like “then good news because this is Prolog syntax” and that wasn’t better.

"Giovane, qui ci sono un po' di errori in questo video"

Gabriele Santomaggio del core team di @rabbitmq mi scrive questo messaggio dopo l'episodio su Gleam. E allora mi attanagliano i dubbi: il 90% del traffico passa davvero per Erlang? I milioni di processi sono solo un mito? "Let it crash" era una bufala?

La cosa giusta da fare era ammettere di non sapere tutto, e invitare al podcast chi queste risposte le conosce, le sa argomentare, e le sa motivare, qualcuno di cui potete trovare il nome tra i commit della BEAM, e che lavora tra concorrenza e message passing tutti i giorni.

E che, peraltro, non vedeva l'ora di potermi bastonare.

Spoiler: alcune cose che ho detto erano giuste.

theo의 BEAM 관련 영상을 보고 Erlang VM의 분산 컴퓨트 방식을 배운 뒤, Bun을 가볍게 재현한 분산 작업 러너 'zukov'를 만들었다고 보고. 멀티 노드 연산을 지원하는 분산 태스크 러너로, 최적화나 세부 기능은 부족하지만 동작 방식이 마음에 든다는 설명.
