Spawnfest is the annual 48 hour Erlang development competition where you can compete against other developers in building the best, most breathtaking Erlang application, library or anything you like! It’s July 9th and 10th anywhere in the world.
They say, “We hope Spawnfest will help bring the Erlang developer community together and get people interested in our favorite programming language.”
We (Inaka) are planning on sponsoring a team and are getting excited about the competition.
If you’ve seen Rails Rumbles of years past, the amount that a talented team can accomplish in one weekend is absolutely astounding. What will the teams at Spawnfest accomplish? How many teams have signed up? Will they work in a massively parallel manner? We’ll have more in the next few days about the event.
