review 1: Cesarini explains Erlang in a reasonably approachable way. Some of the chapters are great but others leave much to be desired. I really enjoyed exploring a functional programming language and a different way of thinking about code, however, the project structure of larger Erlang projects looks a bit chaotic. I understand that an Erlang program can scale from a performance level, but I wonder if it scales from a project management level.
review 2: Very lucid and approachable. I saw parallels between the book's presentation of Erlang's processes as actors, and the more common object-oriented style of programming. I have always believed in preventing "inappropriate intimacy" between parts of a program, but this book gave me a better understanding of how to make pr... moreograms truly modular; even if I never had an occasion to use Erlang, I would still say that this book make me a better programmer. less
