Thanks Mark! I got most of the way through your talk in 2015 and will finish the video tomorrow, pretty heady stuff but you make it digestible. I'm still getting used to erlang syntax, that's why my interest in LFE as its syntax is less cognitive load for me.
Udon and your talk are definitely going to help me jump-start into distributed programming. Thanks for all the info and the updated code. I look forward to building something useful with it. Maybe I'll get good enough eventually to make some contributions to update the code to the latest erlang release. Cheers.

So I'm going to omit support for OTP 20 for now and work on OTP 18 and 19 support tomorrow for udon. That ought to be quite a bit more straight forward. I think it would mostly entail adding the proper relx configuration.

I'll see if I can bump the deps and get it working using Heinz's fork tonight US time.

After watching many videos about Erlang and LFE in particular I think I get it and now understand the many benefits of the BEAM and thought that Riak would make an excellent tool to build applications with. While getting excited I learned of Basho's current limbo status but still interested in learning Riak as it has already been adopted enough that it seems that Riak (or it's future open-source name whatever) is here to stay. How can I compile a working Riak? Is it daft of me to learn Erlang/LFE to get future work supporting existing Riak installations? Though very new to the Erlang ecosystem, I've managed to use Kerl to install different versions of R16 and R17, even used it to install Basho's patched R16 but nothing works. Would it be better to try using the existing Riak containers on Docker Hub? Any thoughts or tips for a Lisper looking to work with and learn more Erlang? My resume available upon request. Thanks in advance for your help. -David Bloom _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
