ETS transactions

[Frank Muller]

Hi guys,

 I found this nice presentation (+video) from Patrik Nyblom where he experimented adding transactions to ETS:

Erlang ETS tables and software transactional memory: how transactions make ETS tables more like ordinary actors

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2034654.2034658

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the source code.

I’m wondering if anyone has built similar transaction system on top of ETS. Anything but Mnesia please (we’re trying to move away from it).

Thanks

/Frank

Not transactions, but Jay Nelson gave a great talk about "patterns for concurrency" back in 2014: https://www.erlang-factory.com/static/upload/media/1394716488140115jaynelson.pdf
