So over the past month now I’ve been devoting a lot off effort to learning a programming language called Erlang. Erlang is a functional programming language that is designed for large-scale communication applications with specific focus on high concurrency and error handling. The reason why I’ve been learning this language is because how well it scales and since I love working on the types of applications that require servers to scale fast if needed. I figured it was about time to learn something that worked a little better.
So I hope over the coming months I’ll be able to describe better my experience learning erlang coming from a Flash / Flex / AS3 / JS / HTML / PHP / Python type of background.
First I plan on converting my current wordpress blog over to zotonic and then try to develop a cool video streaming application that will allow you to watch movies from your Plex DB / XBMC DB over the web using erlyvideo.
