Hacker News with Generative AI: Erlang

Write a Template Compiler for Erlang (2009) (evanmiller.org)
Erlang is an advanced distributed software platform, one that is great for network and multi-core computing, I believe it is almost ready for the "prime time" in web programming, but there is at least one big issue holding the Erlang platform back: the Erlang language is a poor fit for many problems that web programmers face.

Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in Erlang/OTP SSH (nist.gov)
Erlang/OTP is a set of libraries for the Erlang programming language. Prior to versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20, a SSH server may allow an attacker to perform unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). By exploiting a flaw in SSH protocol message handling, a malicious actor could gain unauthorized access to affected systems and execute arbitrary commands without valid credentials. This issue is patched in versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20.

Erlang's not about lightweight processes and message passing (2023) (stevana.github.io)
I used to think that the big idea of Erlang is its lightweight processes and message passing. Over the last couple of years I’ve realised that there’s a bigger insight to be had, and in this post I’d like to share it with you.

Gleam, Coming from Erlang (olano.dev)
I recently took some time to try Gleam, the type-safe language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine. For a couple of weeks, I used it to build a little open-source feed aggregator that’s now live. These are my notes.
