Thank you @FrancescoC and @allenwyma for having me! We are working hard to publish the language repo ASAP!
@allenwyma and I are speaking to @aramallo on bondy.io, a new language for the BEAM, still in pre-release, that lets you build distributed multiagent systems by describing what the system should do rather than wiring up the plumbing yourself.
New BEAM There, Done That: Hernán Rivas Acosta on multiplayer netcode. Spawndemonium runs one Rust simulation, compiled to Wasm, in both the browser and an Elixir GenServer. Ticks, jitter, and why his demons lag on purpose. youtu.be/XubYVNbehYc
First day at @Lambda_World, combined with other great conferences (including @JOTBConf, one of @joeerl’s favourites) was a hit. What made it special was the ability to catch up with speakers from the @CodeMeshIO days. If you missed it this year, don’t miss the 2027 edition.
“My brain is very Gleam-shaped.” Giacomo Cavalieri built an e-ink display, layout engine and all, in Gleam on AtomVM 0.7. So does static typing matter more on a device you can’t SSH into? His answer surprised us. youtu.be/57Vhx7FHk34
Honoured to give the opening keynote for Inday Students November 12th, an event organised by Computer Science department at the @uniinnsbruck. uibk.ac.at/en/informatik/stu…
Polishing off a talk for @Lambda_World this week, love how Claude links the fraud prevention micro service to the bandit web server.
“We have this very ancient witchcraft called garbage collection, so let’s use it.” Davide Bettio on why a memory-managed VM beats C firmware on the surface of attack, and the one rule he gives everyone: avoid NIFs. youtu.be/57Vhx7FHk34
OOOpppss, did I say that? Find out what @HernanInaka said on the @BeamThereDT this Friday. Hint: It is about writing games in #Elixirlang. Subscribe now: youtube.com/@BEAMThereDoneTh…
“From AtomVM’s point of view, Gleam doesn’t exist.” Davide Bettio on why Gleam runs on a $2 chip without a single change to the VM. It’s all BEAM bytecode in the end. youtu.be/57Vhx7FHk34
December 2017. Davide Bettio’s first AtomVM device was his own home thermostat. Then the bugs hit, the heating stopped, and he debugged it in a freezing house. “Once you do physical computing, bugs can disrupt your daily life.” youtu.be/57Vhx7FHk34
New BEAM There, Done That podcast: Gleam on a $2 microcontroller. Giacomo Cavalieri of the Gleam core team takes a total beginner from gleam new to a blinking LED with one command, and Davide Bettio explains why AtomVM never needed a Gleam port. youtu.be/57Vhx7FHk34
Hallway Track: I miss the days #CodeBEAM was a distributed systems conference
Closing Keynote:
Every watt an AI cluster burns ends up as heat. In Haparanda, Erik Stenman’s first feasibility study, it could warm a whole town through district heating. Register allocation to radiators: same job, bigger profiler. @BeamThereDT with @allenwyma youtu.be/afRZmYXwukg
Language or runtime system? Irinya from Priceline sharing her experiences in the time of AI (@joladev Lorena, beer changed hands 😃).
No approved provider left in Sweden: should your AI request quietly run elsewhere, or fail? Erik Stenman’s router returns a 503 rather than cross a border. Watch him switch servers off live on BEAM There, Done That. youtu.be/afRZmYXwukg
More guests on the show! What came first, the chicken or the egg? Do you have to be on the @BeamThereDT podcast to speak at #CodeBEAM or do you have to speak at Code BEAM to be on the podcast? #webeamtogether
Look who I ran into at the airport. One for social media else it didn’t happen. #CodeBEAM #SonicPi #FansOfSamAaron
Christmas Eve at Klarna. The BEAM put idle schedulers to sleep, a term_to_binary call on huge XML refused to yield, and heart killed the node. Then the standby. Then the third. That night, The BEAM Book began. Erik Stenman on BEAM There, Done That. youtu.be/afRZmYXwukg
