Fred probably forgot to mention it, but Joe, Mike, and Robert starred in a short film Erlang: The Movie, a very fine and concise demonstration of fault-tolerance of Erlang.
The film has some magic power that I cannot describe but made me watching it over and over again.
I'm glad that Joe (and the entire erlang team) got the deserved recognition while they were alive. I also appreciate the title because of the aforementioned film. I was always curious as to if the Simpsons' 'Hello Joe' was a nod to this.
Such a great film! I’m embarrassed to admit how much time/money went into making a large JVM deployment support 0 downtime upgrades. Remarkable that these basic things are still not easy to do with most modern tech.

YouTube link to the film with fixed audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXmOlCy0oBM
I'm fairly sure the ending lines:
were a reference to the movie.I went to go watch it again after reading this but you beat me to posting the link here ;)
Most definitely a reference, what a touching way to sign off.
Music video based on the same video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1LjmDCOM-8&t=147s
In the words of a text-to-speech impression of Joe: "I absolutely love it. That name^H^H^H^Hsong is fucking gangsta."
