• Bob Ippolito on Erlang
  I just finished watching Bob's presentation. The best introduction to Erlang I've seen, so if you've been wondering why I'm pointing to Erlang so much, watch this and you'll understand.

  Links for Downloading slides and code for Bob Ippolito's Erlang presentation at C4. It's quite helpful to have the slides open in your browser while you watch the video since they aren't always visible while he speaks.

• Andre Pang: Concurrency and Erlang (LCA2007)
  Presentation slides from Ande's talk at linux.conf.au 2007. Explains the problem with shared-state concurrency (ie: threads and locks) pretty convincingly, and explains how Erlang does a great job of avoiding the problem and how it performs so well.

I just finished watching the end of Bob Ippolito's talk on Erlang from C4.

At the end of the talk an audience member mentioned they were using Ruby and their senior guy didn't want to use Erlang so they wrote their own distributed queue thingy.

Bob said (not a perfect quote, watch the video to get it) "Ruby is great if you want to spend 15 to 20 times more on hardware than me".

Which makes me wonder... could it be Sun loves Ruby because it needs lots of their servers to scale?

• Confreaks: MountainWest Ruby Conference 2008
  An absolutely fantastic talk, I highly recommend that all programmers dedicate the 73:44 to watch and enjoy this in its entirety. I saw Jim Weirich give a talk about Spam at RailsConf 2007, it was great but this talk is 100x better, IMHO. Inspiring stuff.
