Lectures on Erlang (the big idea in OOP is message passing)

Topics discussed:
- Is Erlang the answer?
- In that case what was the question?
- Programming languages are used to solve problems. But what problems? Erlang solves a few interesting problems. What problem does it solve, and why are these problems interesting?
- What big problems are left in computer science and how might we solve them?
- What's gone wrong with computer architectures and what can we do about it?

This talks looks back at the history of Erlang and forward to a future where one day software might actually work and be useful. Right now software is in a bit of mess, but there are ways to fix it ...

Starting from Part 1.
