Since earlier this year when I got my copy of Erlang book, I’ve wanted to do something unconventional with RabbitMQ source. I finally came up with an idea, which is somewhat interesting and maybe even useful, and could be done by an Erlang beginner like myself.
Some background first. Each Erlang program in general consists of [...]

Snoopy Fubars Erlang

Here are some symptoms that you might [...]
