Webinar – Using Erlscripten to transpile Erlang to Javascript
What to expect in this webinar?
JavaScript and Erlang seem like world’s apart but does that have to be the case? In our next webinar, we’ll introduce Erlscripten, a source-to-source transpiler that can convert most Erlang codebases into Purescript. If you’re not familiar with Purescript, it is a strongly typed language heavily inspired by Haskell. More interestingly, Purescript can compile down to Javascript with ease. Using Purescript as an intermediary step, Erlscripten allows you to take your existing Erlang application and quickly ship it to JavaScript users.
In this webinar will walk you through Erlscripten, explaining some of the design choices and rationale behind it. We’ll also give you a demonstration of what it can do, giving you a real-world insight into its interoperability and an example of the benefits of using Erlscripten to take Erlang to web browsers. This webinar will be hosted by Grzegorz Uriasz who worked on the creation of Erlscripten at Aeternity.
