Some thoughts on Erlang2

Prof Joe Armstrong, Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Expert in Compilers and Operating system at Ericsson AB

Changing a popular program language is very difficult, instead of changing Erlang I define a language erl2 while compiles to erlang.

This talk discusses the following:

   - Why changing a language is difficult
   - New language, modified language or code generator?
   - What's new in erl2
   - Mutable value chains
   - "black box" crash recorders
   - Global "global" processes

This is work in progress
