The BEAM Languages United meetup has evolved from the Erlang meetup in Stockholm. The new edition of the meetup is intended to support all the languages running on the BEAM, the Erlang virtual machine (think of it as the JVM or CLR). These languages, of course, include Erlang, but also newer languages like Elixir, LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang), and even Clojerl, a Clojure implementation from our Klarnaut Juan Facorro!

On September 3rd we hosted the kick-off meetup for this season. But, fear not in case you’ve missed it — we’ve recorded the two talks for you. Check them out below!

A group of KTH students has built a gaming platform on the BEAM. In this talk, they tell us what and how they’ve done, with, of course, a live demo.

It doesn’t happen often that a company decides to switch their tech stack almost entirely and leave the security of the old ways. Asolvi, a mostly Microsoft product-driven company, has decided to do so and decided to move from C# to Elixir. You can hear all about their journey in this talk.

Are you interested in joining the upcoming meetups, or are interested in giving a talk at one? Join the group and let us know!
