Last night I finished reading Chapter 6 of Joe Armstrong's thesis on building fault-taulerant software. The chapter was primarlily about putting together alot of what we have learned into some concrete examples. The chapter showed code relating to the various behaviours and supervision models that we had learned about previously. I have to say that I am a big fan of examples. I think they help to solidify my understanding of the material.
Chapter 6 is the last chapter that we will be reading in CS 527. Having about 12 years of industry experience under my belt, I can't help but think about why I had never heard of Erlang before. Is it because I have worked primarily on projects dealing with standard line of business type apps in companies whose core businesses were not technology related? Hmm.
I also wonder about the adaptability of these concepts to other langauges. Could the concepts such as supervision trees that are first class citizens be adapted to a language like C# and maintain the same sort of effect?
