Can you say who is Joe Armstrong and what is the dissertation? I would be interested in reading it.



Joe Armstrong's dissertation became Erlang


Oh wow I didn't know any of this. This will be some good weekend reading. Thanks.

Here is the link in case anyone else is interested:

Their original video demo of hot code swapping is also a classic worth checking out:

That got a lot of programmers interested in Erlang ~10yrs ago.


Anybody know what LaTeX book template this is?


I got the order backwards: Erlang (1981) became Joe Armstrong's dissertation (2003).
