I've been reading Joe Armstrong's thesis[0] for a little while and I continue to find a deeper appreciation for erlang and the OTP application OS they built. It's amazing how many concepts from telecom systems directly apply to the type of web systems we're building today. I still find the erlang syntax slightly jarring, but the thesis is really helping me understand the why.
