	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Erlang programming language
		Erlang was originally a proprietary language within Ericsson, but was released as open source in 1998.
		Erlang was released by Ericsson as open-source to ensure its independence from a single vendor and to increase awareness of the language.
		Erlang avoids the use of global variables that can be used in common by multiple functions since changing such a variable in part of a program may have unexpected effects in another part.

	Erlang programming language - a definition from Whatis.com
		Erlang is a programming language designed for developing robust systems of programs that can be distributed among different computers in a network.
		Erlang is described as a functional programming language, meaning that it emphasizes the evaluation of expressions rather than the execution of commands.
		Erlang provides dynamic data types, allowing programmers to develop system components (such as message dispatchers) that do not care what type of data they are handling and others that strongly enforce data type restrictions or that decide how to act based on the type of data they receive.

	Erlang programming language - Definition, explanation

	Agner Krarup Erlang Summary
		Erlang demonstrated in a 1909 paper that the number of calls to arrive during a period of time follows a Poisson distribution, and treated the problem of waiting time when holding times are constant, for the simplest case of one circuit.
		ERLANG is also the name of a programming language which was developed at Ericsson and Ellemtel Computer Science Laboratories for programming telecommunications switching systems.
		Erlang was also an expert in both the history and calculation of the numerical tables of mathematical functions, particularly logarithms.

		If programs crash in the critical region (i.e., at the time when they hold the lock) disaster results.
		The Erlang flagship project (built by Ericsson, the Swedish telecom company) is the AXD301.
		Erlang does not have "A C-like syntax to make it easy to learn." It is not "Object Oriented," it does not have "Mutable state," and it's a "Functional programming Language."

	A brief introduction to Erlang/OTP
		Erlang is a symbolic high-level functional programming language.
		It was originally developed for programming and prototyping telecommunication systems, but due to its properties quickly proved to be ideal for other industrial applications dependant on features such as fault tolerance, concurrency, distribution, and soft real time properties.
		As Erlang is a higher-level language, there is a no need to document as many levels between the requirements and the implementation.

		This means your Erlang program should run 4 times faster on a 4 core processor than on a single core processsor, all without you having having to change a line of code.
		Erlang combines ideas from the world of functional programming with techniques for building fault-tolerant systems to make a powerful language for building the massively parallel networked applications of the future.
		Erlang is a language used by people in-the-know (just like Ruby was a few years ago).

	Crossing borders: Concurrent programming with Erlang
		Over the years of study that followed, it found that symbolic languages such as Lisp and Prolog tend to lead to much more productive programming, but languages that have built-in notions of concurrency (such as ultra-lightweight processes, active error recovery, and distributed message passing) tend to work much better than those that don't.
		Today, Erlang is a robust language that's not dominant by any stretch, but dozens of large manufacturers and telecoms use it.
		I've written only a few programs in Erlang that were only marginally more than trivial applications, but it struck me for the first time I could directly employ many of the techniques that I learned in my distributed-systems coursework at the University of Texas.

	Learning Erlang
		A quick start can be had by pointing your browser at http://erlang.org/starting.html I have locally installed Erlang and the distribution so have the great documentation available by pointing my browser at: file:///usr/local/lib/erlang/doc/index.html Note that the documentation can be downloaded without installing the complete package at http://erlang.org/download.html.
		The "Erlang Programming" section is excellent, as is all of the documentation.
		Though it uses Lisp (Scheme dialect) for the language, it is a valid tool for the budding Erlang (or other Functional Language) programmer.

		It is used (in conjunction with eswf and egeoip) to power services such as MochiBot and MochiAds, which serve dynamically generated SWF content to millions of viewers daily.
		Erlang's primitives also enable parts of an app to monitor other parts, even if they run on separate hosts across the net, and restart other parts if they fail.
		Erlang's libs let developers build systems with extreme availability, reliability.

	The development of Erlang - Armstrong (ResearchIndex)
		Erlang is a concurrent programming language designed for programming large-scale distributed soft real-time control applications.
		The design of Erlang was heavily influenced by ideas from the logic and functional programming communities.
		Other sources of inspiration came from languages such as Chill and Ada which are used in industry for programming control systems.

	Verification of Erlang Programs (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Erlang is a concurrent and distributed functional programming language developed by Ericsson to address the complexities of developing large concurrent and distributed software systems.
		But on a deeper level the problem is that embedding the code verification problem into a general mathematical framework fails to recognise that programs, and program behaviours, are very special sorts of objects, sharing important properties that are important and useful for their analysis: Programs have transition semantics which are, in general, recursively defined.
		The goal of the project is to produce a method and prototype tool-set for verifying a substantial fragment of the Erlang programming language along with the required documentation and case studies.

	My Name Rhymes - A Pythonista's Impressions of Erlang (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Erlang will automatically call the first function when the argument is zero, and the second one otherwise.
		Erlang does (obviously) have variables, but they must start with a capital letter to be distinguished from atoms.
		Erlang in general seems to encourage short functions which are used by other objects; I am in the process of studying the Erlang idiom of supervisors and workers.

	Tenerife Skunkworks—Trading & Technology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Erlang is free of side effects (built-in function aside) just like Haskell but pattern-matching becomes far easier and the code becomes much smaller when you don't have to deal with static typing.
		Erlang provides the disk_log module that logs to disk anything sent to the logger process.
		This is due to language issues where static typing and records are working against me. This also due to the many GHC/runtime issues that I stumbled upon, specially with regards to concurrency, networking and binary IO.
