CN Erlounge III

I attended CN Erlounge III last weekend, it was a 2-day conference. I did a presentation about Scala vs Erlang.

I met Jackyz who is one of the translators of Chinese version “Programming Erlang”. And Aimin who is writing a Delphi module to support Erlang c-node and c-driver in Delphi.

There is a commercial network monitoring product using Erlang from a major telecom company in China. And our Mobile-Banking platform (in Erlang) is scheduled to launch at middle of January too.

I talked with Yeka and Diuera from Broadview, a leading publisher in IT in China, they are really interested in importing “Programming in Scala” to mainland China.

And many thanks to Shiwei Xu, who is heavy working on Erlang community in China, and took the place to organize this conference.

I gave some encouragements to younger developers on learning Erlang and reading “Programming Erlang”, since I’m the oldest one in attendees :-). Erlang is one of the best pragmatic and clear languages to learn concurrent/parallel and functional programming, and the book, is a very thoughtful and philosophic one on these perceptions.

And I’d like to see “Programming in Scala” also appeals in China soon, Scala is another pragmatic language on solving real world problems and, the book, is also thoughtful and philosophic one on our real world on Types, OO and FP.

Of course, choosing Scala or Erlang for your real world project should depend on the requirements.

I may be back to Vancouver next month for a while. Oh, it will be the beginning of new year.
