Three Interviews with Language Programmers for NetBeans

Geertjan from NetBeans took three interviews with language programmers for NetBeans, one of them is me, where I talked about ErlyBird - Erlang Editor for NetBeans and AIOTrade (formly HumaiTrader) which are all based on NetBeans Platform.

About AIOTrade, in the interview, I said:

"I'm going to split AIOTrade into a client/server application. The server-side will act as a streaming quote data feed server and be responsible for delivering transaction orders to brokers in soft real-time, written in Erlang. The client-side charting and UI features will remain in Java, where Java is strong. With the Jinterface APIs provided by Erlang, Java is easily able to talk with the Erlang server."

It would be nice to know a bit more about your plan on AIOtrade, why do you split it in server/client, and why you choose erlang over other languages.

Hi James,

You can know more about Erlang and why it's suitable for server side from:  http://yarivsblog.com/

Thanks. By the way, I've seen in the interview that you definitely don't have an elephant face ;-)
