Erlang Language Platform: Revolutionizing the Erlang Development Experience

✨This talk by Roberto Aloi & Michał Muskała

Abstract:

In this talk we unveil the ""Erlang Language Platform"" (in short
""ELP""), a groundbreaking, open-source project poised to transform the development experience for the Erlang programming language.


Designed at WhatsApp and inspired by the success of the Rust Analyzer project, ELP is a compiler front-end for Erlang providing a scalable, fully incremental, IDE-first library for the
semantic analysis of Erlang code. By implementing support for the LSP protocol, ELP acts as a next-generation language server, revolutionizing the way developers write, debug and maintain Erlang Code.


In this talk we provide a high-level introduction to the project, discover what is necessary for a good interactive compiler and how it differs from more traditional compilers.

Let's keep in touch! Follow us on:

I'm at minute one and totally excited: An Erlang IDE and ELP made by WhatsApp. That's it! Erlang and its Documentation has improved so much over the last couple of years due WhatsApp's contribution. Long live Erlang/OTP on FreeBSD! Long live Joe Armstrong!

Now praying to Elixir gods to bring us something like this

At last, an Erlang presentation at code beam. I am actually so done with the Elixir community. These guys gather in a slack instance nowadays… Such a cultural gap. I have no nostalgia for old erlang, but I really prefer the older erlanger…

Unfortunately misleading title sorry.

I clicked in here hoping to get some Erlang content.. but it turns out the whole video is just another big sales pitch for Rust.

That’s fine - you do you - but next time could you please put an accurate description on the title so viewers don’t have to waste their time getting clickbaited into having any more “Rust this, Rust that” nonsense shoved down their throats. It’s getting old already.

Thanks
