Stock exchange in Erlang

Joel Reymont has a kinda unusual programming background, having written big programs in Erlang, Common Lisp, Haskell, and OCaml. As you might expect, he has plenty of interesting things to say about them. (John Wiseman has some more info including quotes whose original sources seem to have disappeared.)

Joel wrote recently that he’s working with Pragmatic Programmers on a successor to Programming Erlang, and today announced that, as part of it, he’s going to build a stock exchange app with Erlang, Mnesia and EC2. Joel has a lot of experience here, and it sounds like it could be a great project. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Update (30/1): Looks like it’s no more.
