Joe Armstrong is Giving the Following Talks
Keynote: Erlang - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Some things in Erlang are good, other things are bad and some things are downright ugly. In this lecture I'll present a personal view of some of the things that are missing from Erlang. I'll talk about what should be removed from the language and what should be added. I'll talk about design flaws in the libraries, and how they can be fixed. I'll talk about what is beautiful and what is not.
