Michal Slaski is Host to the Following Tracks

While Erlang is hardly the language of choice for mainstream game devs, it is making interesting inroads in certain niches. Handling complexity, robustness and massive scale seem to be the operative words for the use of Erlang in Gaming and Simulations, and many of the techniques employed are borrowed from the field of scalable Messaging applications - an area where Erlang is outstanding. In this track we combine case studies from all these fields.
