<p>Hi all,</p>
<p> My name is Giovanni Giorgi and I am new to the Erlang mailing list, so I will introduce my self shortly.</p>
<p>I am a 40-years old Software architect, started to coding when I was eleven, inspired by the "Socratic <span>daimōn" if you like.</span></p>
<p><span>In 2000, after my Master degree at DSI University of Milan, Italy I started to work in the banking and financial field, mostly coding in Java J2EE (and ...tired by now).</span></p>
<p><span>I like very much learning programming languages and Unix operating systems.</span></p>
<p><span>I have started looking at Erlang after taking a peek look at Scala, Haskell, Emacs-Lisp, and Nodejs/JavaScript.</span></p>
<p><span>I am surprised from how much is easy using Erlang compared to EmacsLisp/Scala or Haskell. I am not doing holy war here, I am just saying I am very comfortable with Erlang compared to other functional languages.</span></p>
<p><span>I have started a small project <https://github.com/daitangio/er_zauker> which is a search engine tailored to code search.</span></p>
<p><span>I have found is easier to maintain the erlang version compared to the ruby one (!) and my knowledge of the two languages (and paired std libraries) is quite the same.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">I enjoy Squeak Smalltalk for a long time, and I think is Erlang is even more productive then Smalltalk, a quite hard to beat environment.</span></p>
