If you hang around technical online watering holes long enough, eventually | |
you'll run into someone raving about how Erlang is an amazing tool for building | |
robust software: how it's used to produce million-line systems with | |
mind-boggling uptime ("nine nines", "powers your cell phone data network", and | |
so on). | |
Erlang is *really* cool, but it isn't everyone's cup of tea. However, we're in | |
luck! Perl 6 Promises provide some of the same primitives for reliability as | |
Erlang processes: failure isolation and messsage passing. So, in the grand | |
tradition of borrowing cool stuff from other languages, let's see what we can | |
steal^Wlearn from Erlang and its ideas about building reliable software, and | |
how much we can directly apply to Perl 6. We'll take a look at "let it crash", | |
supervision trees, and other goodies. |
