Episode 150 feat. Juan Facorro - Clojerl!

Elixir Talk

Episode 150 - Clojerl with Juan Facorro This week on the show we’re joined by Juan Facorro, an avid Erlang-er and creator of Clojerl, a Clojure port written in Erlang. We give you an update about Elixir Training, and tell you a bit more about a potential bar / meetup we at EMPEX will be hosting during ElixirConf this year in Denver (if we can find a bar). We then get Juan to give us a run through of Clojerl, diving into the project, his motivations for creating it and going in-depth to some of the challenges Juan had along the way. We understand why you’d even want Clojure on the BEAM in the first place and where the Erlang concurrency model is advantageous here.
