My name is Tiago. I was expecting Joe to join and talk about how declarative programming languages have several advantages over traditional languages

Thatās probably in progress already - people forget Joeās other career - at weekends he puts on a wig and composes music under the name Carl Jenkins.

That was me! I totally forgot about that, and it popped up recently and I had to actually search for it. Surprised to see it linked on an actual erlang forum.
I know this is probably a dead thread at this point, and I donāt remember too much of it, but I had just taken a new job and was reading Joe Armstrongās book, and for some reason this existed on Google Video and Youtube, but both were weirdly edited, and missing either the beginning or the end. A friend and I watched it and thought it was funny, and just wanted to do some basic video editing. I remember pulling it off Google Video somehow and struggling with Windows Movie Maker (i think the first and last time I used that POS)
I guess for some context, at the time some friends and I were working on things that were ā¦ deliberately confusing. We had all had jobs dealing with translation and proofing technical stuff coming from Japanese and so we would edit together a lot of engrish stuff to be played straight, but not make a lot of sense in the context. So, editing this video of polite professional people hanging up on each other seemed like a natural extension of it. Given that its mostly been reblogged by foreign spam sites, I think that would constitute a success.
The original version in all its glory, of course, shouldnāt be missed.

Personally, I think in all its awkwardness this is the best cut of Erlang: The Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VoOXem0fhc
