Come join DC Elixir for an Intro to Tele from the creator Harley Swick!

Tele is a radically simplified syntax for Erlang that strips away Prolog-era punctuation and brings a modern feel.

No matter your BEAM background or experience level, you're welcome to join us!

Its chonkier than I'd imagine; but fits nicely with my other desk books.

Smalltalk-80: The language and its implementation
The C Programming Language
The BEAM Book
