Functional thinking with Erlang

counter_loop(Count) -> receive { incr } -> counter_loop(Count + 1); { report, To } -> To ! { count, Count }, counter_loop(Count) end. incr(Counter) -> Counter ! { incr }.

  • find_count(Counter) ->

Counter ! { report, self() }, receive { count, Count } -> Count end.

SLIDE 50 reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1useus/software_in_2014_ongoing_by_tim_bray/celdofq I recently worked on a 6 month long project… We were tasked with building out an internal data analytics tool that would let non-technical folks slice and dice data in one of our primary data stores. I think we assumed going in that the server-side piece would be where we spent most of our time, but it was actually trivial given the incredible tool set you have to work with on the server. … We really ran into problems when it came to building a web app to display this data. All of the developers besides myself needed to fjrst learn javascript and jquery, which aren't altogether diffjcult to learn, but have some really strange quirks. And then CSS/Sass, which can be really conceptually diffjcult for newcomers ("No, you can't just do height: 100%;. Why? Well...", "Yes, it is strange that your div is behind your other div even though it has a higher z-index", "You need to clearfjx that outer div to fjx the way all those things are fmoating over each other. What's a clearfjx? It's another well accepted hack." etc). And then Backbone, and Marionette to make Backbone better. And requireJS, because javascript doesn't have a linker. And of course, you need to package and minimize this stufg together, because you wind up having to load 1MB of javascript into the page before you can click a button… Thank god this was an internal tool, because the idea of making this thing work for IE is terror-inducing. The number of WTF's per person per day was probably 5-10x higher on the frontend piece…
