Erlang Deep Dive with the Erlang Solutions team

Francesco Cesarini founded Erlang Solutions in 1999 with a mission to help companies adopt Erlang.  In this interview, I speak with Francesco and Gabor Olah from Erlang Solutions.  We discuss the Erlang language, it’s ecosystem, and features like concurrency, resilience, and scalability that motivate adoption.  We use Java and the Java Virtual Machine as a comparison point for Erlang and it’s virtual machine the BEAM.  Lastly, we explore where Erlang fits best in contemporary software engineering projects.
