On Erlang

There is a very good introductory video on Erlang by Bob Ippolito here.

Erlang is a functional language first implemented by Ericsson for telecommunication equipment 20 years ago. Given the nature of this type of equipment, Erlang is designed to be small (memory was expensive then), very reliable (able to hot-swap the running code), and concurrent (hundred thousand of instances at the same time).

I watched the whole video and enjoyed every bit of it.

Here are some more links related to Erlang:

I am trying to learn one more language to fill my time, or fill my hollowness. How much more to fill? Maybe another eight years....?

Not my choice...
