TITLE: Erjang - A Java hacker in Erlang-land
AUTHORS: Kresten Krab Thorup

Kersten Krab Thorup started *porting Erlang to the JVM* [see http://erjang.org], and that was a really interesting exercise, and he would like to take you through some of the issues, problems and solutions that arise from that challenge. The talk is in two parts. The first part is about thinking a processes, in particular,rlang programmers model things with processes. If they can do it, everyone else should be able to do too. Kersten's mission is to bring the intuition of Erlang programmers to the main stream programming scene. This second part of the talk is really "looking at Erlang from a Java perspective", and I will take you though the various major language constructs in Erlang, and show how that maps to Java in the generated code. For me, this has been an excellent way to really learn Erlang, and I hope to convey some of what I learned to you too."

Kresten Krab Thorup is CTO of Trifork, a public Danish company (Trifork.com) providing software solutions to government and financial services providers. Trifork is also creator of the long-running JAOO conference, and co-creator of QCon.
