This is the first post in my Interviewing the Parallel Programming Idols-Series. My interview partner today is Joe Armstrong, one of the founding fathers of the Erlang programming language. He presently works for Ericsson, where he designed the very first version of Erlang (that was a long time ago in 1986). He is also co-author of the book on Erlang to date: Concurrent Programming in Erlang. And soon, we will have the pleasure of having another book from him in association with the Pragmatic Programmers (this time with him as the main author) – Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World. Besides writing books and inventing programming languages, he teaches courses on Erlang, pursued his PhD in computer science, founded one of the first Erlang startups and enjoys his motorcycle. I wonder where he finds the time to do all that. 😀
