Software engineer, open-source developer, speaker and trainer. He also contributes to maintains multiple open source projects including Elixir and OPT and maintains some of his own including Jason - the most popular projects on hex.pm.
When not programming, he enjoys reading, travelling, and sailing - no matter if sunny, rainy or stormy. It's even better if all of those are combined!

Erlang is getting pretty!
How much time did you spend today reading code? How many times did you have to look harder because of how the code looked?
Maintaining a clear and consistent code style is hard: manual inspections often leads to endless bikeshedding and linters add noticeable overhead to the workflow. Many languages solved this issue through automated code formatters - Go, Rust, Elixir, Elm among many others. And now, thanks to the new erlfmt tool, Erlang is getting pretty as well!
Come to this session to learn more about erlfmt - how it works and how it can help your team.
THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS
Erlang
Tooling
Developer experience
OBJECTIVES
- Introduce the audience to the concept of algebra-based pretty printing
- Explain how an automated code formatter can streamline developer experience for teams and in open source
TARGET AUDIENCE
Erlang programmers of all levels

What actually is the BEAM?
At this conference, we're surrounded by the word "BEAM". A quick exploration will reveal it has to do with how Erlang code is executed and is the secret sauce uniting all of us - Erlang, Elixir, LFE, Efene and others. But do you really know what it is? In this talk, Michal will carefully explore the BEAM, both the runtime and the compiler. We'll see how they relate, what particular strengths this gives to our code and how we can leverage it from the applications we write every day in Erlang and Elixir. Finally, we'll see how the BEAM is similar and different to other environments and languages like Java's JVM, C#'s CLR or Lua.
