BEAMing with Joy
summary
Covers concrete BEAM internals and tools: explains the scheduler with preemptive reductions and how work queues rebalance, demos the observer GUI and c-module shell commands for live cross-node inspection, walks through Dialyzer success typing and typer-based annotations, shows property testing (QuickCheck/Proper) and concurrency testing (Concuerror) workflows, illustrates calling Erlang libraries from Elixir with a real inet parsing example, and surveys behaviors (gen_server/gen_fsm/supervisor) plus many-core research and alternate languages on the VM.
