So, after fiddling around a bit, I came to a conclusion that trying to run BEAM applications (Erlang/Elixir/etc) in Docker while communicating with them from the host is exhausting.
Mainly because, ironically, BEAM was designed from the ground up to be multi-host, but it requires a discovery service (epmd) to be present on a specific port (4369). So if you want BEAM on your host (with its own epmd), you can't port-forward epmd from your container to its port as well.
Our next DC Elixir event will be a social 🍻
Whether you’re deep into BEAM development or just curious, come hang out and meet others in the community.

I still remember trying to sell people on Erlang back at an old job and it went something like “think of it as concurrent functional lisp” and they were like “Lisp’s syntax is terrible” and I was like “then good news because this is Prolog syntax” and that wasn’t better.

"Giovane, qui ci sono un po' di errori in questo video"
Gabriele Santomaggio del core team di @rabbitmq mi scrive questo messaggio dopo l'episodio su Gleam. E allora mi attanagliano i dubbi: il 90% del traffico passa davvero per Erlang? I milioni di processi sono solo un mito? "Let it crash" era una bufala?
La cosa giusta da fare era ammettere di non sapere tutto, e invitare al podcast chi queste risposte le conosce, le sa argomentare, e le sa motivare, qualcuno di cui potete trovare il nome tra i commit della BEAM, e che lavora tra concorrenza e message passing tutti i giorni.
E che, peraltro, non vedeva l'ora di potermi bastonare.
Spoiler: alcune cose che ho detto erano giuste.

theo의 BEAM 관련 영상을 보고 Erlang VM의 분산 컴퓨트 방식을 배운 뒤, Bun을 가볍게 재현한 분산 작업 러너 'zukov'를 만들었다고 보고. 멀티 노드 연산을 지원하는 분산 태스크 러너로, 최적화나 세부 기능은 부족하지만 동작 방식이 마음에 든다는 설명.
This Wednesday's #DCElixir meetup will be on Tele, an alternate syntax for Erlang.
We'll be meeting at 7pm at the Rockville Memorial Library.

Dear Cupid,
Can you please aim a quiver's worth of arrows at some companies so they would send me job interview invites? Please. I'm a lonely heart still looking for work (in all the wrong places), but no one is sharing the love. I know a variety of languages like English, French, #C, #Erlang, #C#, #Java, or #NodeJS. Been looking to #Go polish some #Rust too. I make for a great work date on any flavour of #BSD or #Linux, but #NoAI (it never works like in the commercials and eats batteries galore).
Send me a job love letter for Valentine's Day, please?
🌘 Joe Armstrong & Jeremy Ruston - 將TiddlyWiki與Erlang交織結合 | Code Mesh LDN 18 - YouTube
➤ 兩位開源先驅的技術對談：當函數式語言遇上個人維基
✤ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv1UfLPK7_Q
在Code Mesh LDN 18會議上，Erlang的共同創造者Joe Armstrong與TiddlyWiki的創始人Jeremy Ruston進行了一場對話。他們探討瞭如何將Erlang的強大並行處理與容錯能力，應用於擴展TiddlyWiki的個人知識管理系統。討論涵蓋了技術架構的選擇、實現挑戰，以及這兩種看似迥異的技術如何相互補充，創造出更具彈性與擴展性的個人運算環境。
+ 「這場對話太精彩了！看到Erlang這種用於電信級系統的語言被應用在個人知識管理上，完全顛覆了我對軟體應用範疇的想像。」
+ 「Jeremy對於TiddlyWiki架構的說明很清晰，但Joe對於Erlang併發模型的

https://thewhale.cc/posts/zotonic
Zotonic is the open source, high speed, real-time web framework and content management system, built with Erlang. It is flexible, extensible and designed from the ground up to support dynamic, interactive websites and mobile solutions.
Louis Pilfold ha passato sei anni a costruire un linguaggio che non ha l'istruzione if. Niente. Zero. E funziona sulla stessa VM che fa girare WhatsApp, Discord e @RabbitMQ.
Nella Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025 è risultato il secondo linguaggio più amato dagli sviluppatori, con il 70% che vuole continuare a usarlo.
In questa puntata vi racconto cos'è Gleam ✨, perché la BEAM è frizzantissima, e come mai un linguaggio funzionale type-safe potrebbe essere la vostra prossima salvezza dall'AI slop.
