Erlang Cookbook   13 Feb 08
[print link all ]
The Erlang Cookbook is designed to be a good starting point for learning about the language, the OTP platform, and fault tolerant programming. This book was started as a way for me to document what I learned about the Erlang programming language, best practices gleaned from reading the newsgroups and mailing lists, and tips and tricks from the helpful developers and scientists using Erlang.

I modeled this book on the nearly-completed Scheme Cookbook that I was fortunate enough to have been part of developing.

This book (and the Scheme Cookbook itself) could not have been created without the excellent templating system Anton van Straaten developed for the Scheme Cookbook.

Clojure from Ruby   15 Jan 08

A JVM-based Lisp interacting with JRuby.

Robin Bhattacharyya posted this on Jan 13 to clojure@googlegroups.com

 I was playing with JRuby and wondered how hard it would be to consume
 Clojure from JRuby.

 It turns out that it was not hard at all.

 For anyone interested, I attached a working interface.
