What is Erlang?

Erlang is a general-purpose concurrent programming language and runtime system. The sequential subset of Erlang is a functional language, with strict evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing. For concurrency it follows the Actor model. It was designed by Ericsson to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-real-time, non-stop applications.

Comment by Stuart Malin on October 31, 2009 at 5:34am: Tim: no need to shut up... thanks for sharing all those links! I too have been drawn by Nitrogen, and really should build a Web app with it. I didn't know about Basho -- will look into it... do you have any strong sense regarding it and how it compares to CouchDB?

Comment by Tim Dysinger on October 31, 2009 at 5:30am: I was thinking this morning that it would be fun to write a web app with http://nitrogenproject.com and http://riak.basho.com . That would make one heck up a bullet proof & scalable app at ec2. :) OK really I'll shut up now. :)

Comment by Tim Dysinger on October 31, 2009 at 5:22am: Justin Sheehy's Riak project has been twisting my mind this week in erlang land. You might think of it as a cross between couchdb & hadoop but with map/reduce functions in erlang instead of Javascript or Java. http://riak.basho.com/

Comment by Tim Dysinger on October 31, 2009 at 5:17am: Scrolling back I see questions from Stuart on EC2 erlang. You should try tricks like this http://code.google.com/p/nodefinder for finding nodes to put into your http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/pool.html

Comment by Tim Dysinger on October 31, 2009 at 5:14am: All the old 80's Erlang guys are mind blowers. They were doing this stuff 20 years ago :) I totally sucked it up at the Erlang Factory. Robert Virding is one my favs. He wrote a lisp compiler on top of Erlang Core which I really like. I am actually coding some this morning.

Comment by Stuart Malin on October 30, 2009 at 4:48pm: Joe sure should know what he's talking about -- he's quite accomplished :-)

I am such a great fan of his, and Erlang, and feel that I have such a learning curve ahead of me... but have some projects in mind that will use Erlang, and so the necessity of end-game will propel me up that curve. Onward Ho!
