Visual concurrency cookbook
summary
A small visualization stack records every Erlang tracer event, dumps binary snapshots, and reconstructs a temporal actor graph with a Phoenix API and a D3 frontend; it includes an XUnit integration and shows exact events (spawn, link, monitor, send, receive, schedule, GC). The prototype called Paparazzi recorder supports time-traveling traces and visualizes behaviors like a parallel map that spawns four workers and tears them down, is useful for education, has JS memory issues, and omits ancestors and group leadership.
