Joe Armstrong's Favorite Erlang Program... in LFE
There's a great Tiny Scheme example I want to write about, some cool Clojure stuff I've played with, and bunch of functional programming work I'd like to share, etc., etc., but again, none of these are anything I can complete in a few minutes (allowing me to do the other things that I'd like to do today!).
I'd given up, when I remembered that there was something short, sweet, and a bit of ol' fun that I wanted to share! Mr. Erlang himself recently blogged about it, and I wanted to convert it to LFE: Joe Armstrong's Favorite Erlang Program.
This little puppy is quite delightful -- and Joe shares a great little story about how he deployed it on Planet Lab in his "aside" section of that post :-)
After you read his post, come back and take a look at this code:
That's how you do it in LFE! (Also, did you notice that Github now knows how to colorize *.lfe files? That happened here.)
Ain't it just the purdiest thing you ever saw?
This code has also been submitted for inclusion in the LFE examples (thus the "examples/" below). Let's do a quick sanity check:
And now, let's run the example!
Happy New Year, everyone :-D
