Name: Elixir and Elixir Developers Asia Meet Up #1
Start: 2024-01-16T19:30:00+08:00
End: 2024-01-16T21:00:00+08:00

Our first-ever meetup is coming up on 16th January 2024! Robert Virding will be on hand to share Erlang wisdom. Plus Jaylun from EMQ.

Robert's presentation:
Erlang Rationale
While Erlang has much in common with other functional languages it does many things differently from other languages. In this talk one of the three inventors of Erlang will look at the rationale behind Erlang and try to show how many of its important features combine to work together. We will also look at how Erlang was first developed to show the reason for some of the features in the rationale.

We're keeping it hybrid - tune in online or join the Hong Kong crew. Either way, talks will stream live.

Come share your projects, problems, and bigger plans.

If Elixir/Erlang is your thing, don't miss our kickoff shindig. RSVP today whether you're a pro or newb - we'll see you there!
