Next meeting of the MSLUG

The next meeting of the Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group will be next 
Thursday, April 19, 2007.

Title : How (and why) I implemented the MSLUG website in Erlang

Abstract:

In this talk, I will present how I implemented the MSLUG website in Erlang. 
We will see how, in about 1K lines of Erlang code, one can implement a 
high-performance, fully-dynamic website with RSS feeds, database support, 
and more. The talk will cover the basic aspects of Erlang (its syntax, the 
read-eval-print loop, etc.) as well as more advanced features: Mnesia, the 
concurrent distributed database, the high performance web server Yaws, and 
OTP.

Note that this will be a very informal meeting, with lots of code. The goal 
is to show why I consider Erlang to be mostly a member of the Lisp family, 
even with its Prolog-like syntax ;-)
