Erlang Language Platform: Revolutionizing the Erlang Development Experience

Discover the groundbreaking "Erlang Language Platform" (ELP) in this 39-minute conference talk by Roberto Aloi and Michał Muskała from Code BEAM Europe 2023. Explore how this open-source project, inspired by the Rust Analyzer, aims to transform the Erlang development experience. Learn about ELP's role as a compiler front-end, providing a scalable, fully incremental, IDE-first library for semantic analysis of Erlang code. Understand how ELP implements LSP protocol support to function as a next-generation language server, revolutionizing Erlang code writing, debugging, and maintenance. Gain insights into the project's high-level introduction, the requirements for an effective interactive compiler, and how it differs from traditional compilers. Delve into the future of Erlang development and the potential impact of this innovative platform on the programming landscape.
