RIP Joe. Every interaction I had with you in the past was always a great time. You'll be missed, but never forgotten. Thanks for everything you've done for the Erlang community and distributed systems design.

A friend and I used this paper as part of an independent study in compilers, it was a lot of fun and I think strikes the right balance of concepts core to compiler construction. I highly recommend it.

Unfortunately, I do not. I would try contacting the author, you never know.

I will see if I can get Eric (the creator) to reply.

I have started playing with Rust and have used OCaml on and off, but recently really diving hard into it building a REST-based application from top to bottom in OCaml, including all the infrastructure bits. We are slowly making our stuff open source as it becomes useable: https://github.com/afiniate

In short, OCaml is a mature language that has been used for decades in commercial applications. I feel OCaml is the next progression for the people that got excited about distributed systems via the Erlang path and want more of the safety and reasoning that comes from a strongly/statically-typed language like OCaml. Rust may or may not take off, but I am confident OCaml will remain viable for the foreseeable future, and probably gain slow, but steady popularity as engineers see all the cool things you can do like MirageOS: http://openmirage.org/

Are you from JSC by chance? Is this from an authoritative source, or an just an observation of likeliness? Would love if they indeed do push hard for this.

I never run an ssh server on my laptops, no reason to really. Secondly, with ssh, it requires you know ip or hostname, both which I don't want to worry about.
