This is the first of a two-part interview with Dave Fayram (aka kirindave) and Tom Preston Werner (aka mojombo) from Powerset. These Ruby, Rails, and Erlang rockstars are the developers of fuzed, an Erlang-based frontend cluster for web apps, and maintainers of Erlectricity which exposes Ruby to Erlang and vice versa (among other amazing technologies). Both of these innovative developers work for Powerset, a natural language search engine for the Internet.
