Now I'm curious whether Joe Armstrong's original Prolog implementation of the VM is available anywhere, but I doubt it.
efitz•1h ago
Maybe the post should explain what [a?] BEAM is, rather than invite the reader to go view a conference presentation recording.
joshuaissac•1h ago
The VM used for Erlang and Elixir.
giancarlostoro•1h ago
I think its written for people who already know what the BEAM is. The BEAM is the VM for Erlang or Elixir, similar to how Java has the JVM and C# has .NET essentially.
jedmeyers•1h ago
A lot of people know that Beam is an open-source unified programming model for defining data processing pipeline, both batch and streaming (B[atch and Str]eam), in a way that’s portable across different execution engines. That's why people are asking to clarify what Beam is before sending us to watch the conference recordings.

I think there are plenty of context clues in the first few sentences.

It’s poor writing.

I'm pretty sure that in this analogy, C# has the CLR.

The blog is a text version of the talk, not an invitation to watch the talk.

When can we be done with these cheap comments? It has really become tiring to have a comment tree on every HN post for people who don't know what the article is about. As the author often didn't submit their own article it is just a complaint with no possible resolution. Instead of taking a few seconds to find out what the article is about and maybe even clarifying it for your fellow readers, you are taking that time to write a comment that only detracts from a possible conversation.

If you can't bring yourself to search for 5 seconds and find out what an article is about, maybe you just close it and move on.

> I was always fascinated with BEAM (Bogdan Erlang Abstract Machine, a VM for languages like Erlang and Gleam) and how it allowed easy spawning of processes that didn’t share state, allowed for sending and selectively receiving messages, and linking to each other thus enabling creation of supervision trees.

That's all it takes. When you're writing about a niche topic (and nearly everything and anything interesting is a niche topic) then explain your jargon. It's considerate, reminds people who are familiar but might have forgotten, and introduces people unfamiliar with it to what your topic is.

Sometimes people want to understand what they're reading about and not have to play a little "guess what this is about" game. Clarity is a quality of good writing.
