In less than a month I'll be heading out to London to speak about http://nitrogenproject.com at the http://erlang-factory.com/conference/London2009. I've booked a little extra time before and after the trip to go sip some tea, see Big Ben, high five the Queen, and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/677048.stm.
In the meantime, Nitrogen is undergoing some big changes. The improvements were inspired by conversations and presentations at Erlang Factory San Francisco as well as http://www.brics.dk/~hosc/local/HOSC-12-3-pp221-236.pdf by Guy Steele.
The main goals are to:
- Allow Nitrogen to cooperate with--rather than compete against--some of the other great work out there, including http://bitbucket.org/justin/webmachine/wiki/Home, http://www.erlang-web.org, http://erlyweb.org, etc.
- Make it easier for the Nitrogen community to customize caching, sessions, state management, and many of the other things that get more complicated as a site grows.
Early prototypes are looking good. Hopefully I'll have some great stuff to show off by the time the 'Factory starts.
