I'd also recommend "Scientific Babel How Science Was Done Before and After Global English" by Michael D. Gordin [0]. It goes into detail about which languages scientists have used over time.

Yes, I've had to learn this one the hard way, too. And more than once, I have to admit.

When I was working on Mathematica, a lot of effort was put in to making examples for each doc page. One example (that I didn't work on) picked at random: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/RandomVariate.htm...

Mnesia is _not_ the storage layer for messages (except for delayed messages).

Mnesia stores vhosts, users, permissions, queue definitions and more. This is being transitioned to Khepri, which improves a lot of things (maybe most importantly netsplits) but not directly message speeds.

Yes, a stream queue type [0] is available where you can set retention, and replay messages.

This release includes a new (native, no longer a plugin) AMQP 1.0 implementation, new quorum queue features, and a new schema data store (Khepri)

They mention a book, book seems like it never came out?

Cool, they've added support for long message queue monitoring: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/7651

You can also use wolframcloud.com for free. Which runs the latest Mathematica online.

Most interesting might be the new "tprof"-tool that allows for heap profiling

ra for those interested: https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra ("A Raft implementation for Erlang and Elixir that strives to be efficient and make it easier to use multiple Raft clusters in a single system.") Used by RabbitMQ for quorum queues + Khepri (the new metadata store)

Continuous System Simulation by Cellier/Kofman [0]. The focus is mainly on Modelica, but analog circuits are a "special case" of this.

If interested in battery technology and Argonne I'd recommend this book: "The Powerhouse: America, China, and the Great Battery War" [0]

Yes came to say this. The Erlang VM is about lightweight processes and message passing.

Yes, they built a platform Cello [0] that would allow for that if I remember correctly

(Former Wolfram employee) Glad you like the documentation system, there is a lot of hard work going into making the examples in that documentation, and making sure they are linked to other relevant areas.

Yeah, flaky dashboard, unable to get proper visuals on apps, can't restart apps.

RabbitMQ has poison message handling in Quorum queues [0]. They are also FIFO.

We run a hosted version starting at $5/month [0]. We used to have a free version but it was too popular.

I'd say the most important part is knowing the tools and that comes with practice. Here's a good summary [0].

Ah, and the Swedish "gift" (married) and "gift" (poison).

What do you mean with "Resilient to Scan-The-World"?
