The very first time I’ve seen a line of Elixir I was in awe. Coming from Ruby the syntax was familiar.
But I wanted to know what was this “Erlang” beast, scaring so many people.
Erlang’s syntax was in fact not so “atrocious” and even quite nice.
And after watching this talk from Todd Resudek, I was convinced that to better appreciate the BEAM ecosystem, you need to grasp Erlang.
And so I’ve bought this book, it’s pretty thick but, I’m very eager to read how they dealt with all HTML, forms, string, etc. that the web represents.
I’ll use this book club to tell you how’s the journey and what are my thoughts about it.
