“ In terms of concurrency, if you’re writing middleware I think you owe it to yourself to look at Erlang. The language itself has the primitives, then there are libraries called the Open Telecom Platform that come with it, that build on those primitives to make reliable software almost simple. It’s never simple, but compared to what you have to do, jumping through hoops in other languages, it’s kind of a no-brainer.

My friends Anibal and Edgar, the developers behind has_many :developers and rubycorner.com, put up a banner ad for MountainWest RubyConf. Not only that, they were the ones who got the ball rolling to do it. Aren’t friends great?February 13
New Erlang Book
This is probably interesting to a lot of Rubyists, so I’ll post it here. Yesterday, I mentioned a rumoured Erlang book from O’Reilly. Overnight, I got confirmation, and posted about it here.February 11
“ So we are just getting started on mod_rubinius here at EY. We’ve hired Eero Saynatkari ( rue in the #rubinius irc channel) full time to work on the project. … We would like to hear from you folks. What would you like to see in a mod_rubinius?

“ Probably the coolest thing I see is how people use Puppet in ways I hadn’t considered. I regularly see people on the mailing list and IRC channel say “Wow – I just found out the syntax can do x”. I look at what they have posted and they have often found some new way to take advantage of the language to configure hosts. It is being part of this sort of community that makes working with Puppet very cool.
