What does HackerNews think of erlexec?
Execute and control OS processes from Erlang/OTP
Language:
C++
https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec is pretty good for handling external processes. The builtins aren't quite there if you have more complex use cases.
erlexec (or its elixir wrapper) might be worth a try: https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec
I hope he can, sooner or later, put these legal battles behind him and return to programming. He's a pretty good Erlang coder: https://github.com/saleyn
This, in particular, is extremely useful for anyone using Erlang to interact with external processes: https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec
> Some firms on Wall Street use Erlang -- remember Serge Aleynikov case, he is an Erlang programmer.
His erlexec thing is quite useful: https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec - I started contributing to it myself before I realized who he was.
I hope everything ends up well for him. I've been a very appreciative user, and occasional committer to erlexec: https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec
It was kind of a shock when I put 2 and 2 together and realized who the author was, as I'd already been using the code for a while.
For those that don't know, Serge is a great Erlang and C++ programmer and he contributes to open source (had some pull requests to Erlang itself).
Here is his Github account:
You can find his posts on Erlang's mailing list once a while.
Two of his interesting project I am following:
https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec -- a utility to control OS process from Erlang.
https://github.com/saleyn/eixx/ -- Erlang to C++ interface.
