Hamler is compiled to Erlang/OTP, which is a concurrent, fault-tolerant, distributed programming platform. A distributed Erlang/OTP system consists of a number of Erlang runtime systems called node. Nodes are connected with TCP/IP sockets and communicate by message passing.

An Erlang runtime system -- node is identified by a unique name like an email address. Erlang nodes communicate with each other via these names.

Start Erlang epmd for registering node name first:

epmd -daemon

Start n1@127.0.0.1 on a Hamler REPL console:

hamler repl
> import Control.Distributed.Node
> import Control.Distributed.NetKernel
> start :"n1@127.0.0.1"

Start n2@127.0.0.1 on another Hamler REPL console, then connect to the n1@127.0.0.1 node:

hamler repl
> import Control.Distributed.Node
> import Control.Distributed.NetKernel
> start :"n2@127.0.0.1"
> connectNode :"n1@127.0.0.1"
true
> nodes
['n1@127.0.0.1']
