I still remember trying to sell people on Erlang back at an old job and it went something like “think of it as concurrent functional lisp” and they were like “Lisp’s syntax is terrible” and I was like “then good news because this is Prolog syntax” and that wasn’t better.

Come join DC Elixir for an Intro to Tele from the creator Harley Swick!
Tele is a radically simplified syntax for Erlang that strips away Prolog-era punctuation and brings a modern feel.
No matter your BEAM background or experience level, you're welcome to join us!

Do embedded with the BEAM? The Nerves Newsletter is adding segments to cover the wider BEAM embedded ecosystem. We're perhaps the loudest project but we see so much useful overlap and sharing with AtomVM, GRiSP, the new BEAM Bots, Meta Erlang.
If you want to track it, sign up: https://underjord.io/nerves-newsletter.html
If you have cool projects to share, let me know!

#Unison is a really interesting programming language - one of the most novel I've seen in recent years https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/quickstart/
It's hard to describe, but to me it feels like some modern blend of ideas from #Haskell, #Erlang, #Smalltalk and #OCaml. I hope that it will manage to gain some traction and that I'll be able to play a bit more with it down the road.
