Abstract: This paper describes the Erlang programming language and some of the applications which have been programmed in Erlang. Erlang has many language features more commonly associated with an operating system than a language. Concurrent processes, scheduling, garbage collection, etc., are all performed by the Erlang run-time system and not by the underlying operating system. The paper starts with a description of some of the requirements that we wanted to satisfy when designing the language. This... (Update)

.... Further, significant benefits have been recently reported with large telecommunications applications written in Erlang, see Armstrong [3]. In addition, we believe a dynamically typed, functional language can provide a very high degree of intrinsic run time safety, since changing...

.... language, as demonstrated by a number of very large programs (more than 100.000 lines of code) used in products being sold by Ericsson[3]. Perhaps one key factor making Erlang a practical language is the fact that processes may be created within the language. The processes...
