Konrad Gądek is Giving the Following Talks
Saving mankind with Erlang for dummies

Sapir-Whorf hypothesis states, that people speaking different languages think differently. I argue that this is also true with formal languages.

In this talk I will present results of bachelor thesis that I and Michał Konarski created. Also, I will show why we chose Erlang, why it was a good choice and what was its impact on software design.

I'd like to show the idea of separate actors, message passing and its implications to fault-tolerance (and scalability). Also I'd like to show that Erlang is well suited for embedded devices.

I will not try to teach Erlang, only show the ideas.
