Concurrent Programming in ERLANG

Fülszöveg

ERLANG is a functional programming language intended for designing large
industrial real-time systems. Dynamically typed, with a pattern matching
syntax, ERLANG provides explicit concurrency with asynchronous message
passing in a distributed environment.
Developed at the Ellemtel Telecommunications Systems Laboratories and
used extensively within Ericsson for product development and prototyping,
ERLANG addresses a number of problems in parallel programming which
are difficult to solve when using other languages. ' j
