Talk: Everybody Polyglot!

Life ain't perfect. Sometimes, you need to use Ruby, Java, or even (gasp!) PHP. Once you finish making those gagging noises, it's a good idea to strategize ways to get Erlang back into your life as soon as possible. Knowing how to make Erlang play nicely with other languages is a good first step.

In this talk, Rusty will discuss three different approaches to cross-language communication in Erlang: REST, Protocol Buffers, and Bert-RPC. He will cover basic philosophies of the different approaches, usage (with code samples), and tradeoffs.
