Thanks for the good article. I’ve decided to branch out and learn Erlang for “fun”, and your articles have been useful so far.

Erlang started out as a way to write parallel prolog….the history is a great read. http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Grundutb/Kurser/ppxt/HT2007/general/languages/armstrong-erlang_history.pdf

Joshua,

Yeah, I’m using the TextMate bundle, actually, but it’s hard to translate that into a GeSHi plugin. I found one on the web but it’s only the front-end — the guy doesn’t actually provide the plugin source.

If I can’t get it there I’ll just write my own.

Rock on with the Erlang! I’ve been enjoying it over the last few months, though I haven’t found any serious commercial projects to work on with it yet (yet!) but I think it’s really promising and gathering steam. For GeSHi I don’t know, but there’s a TextMate plugin, and a bunch of Emacs stuff too, so it couldn’t be that hard to write one up, no?

Erlang syntax looks like a marriage of Prolog and the ML family of functional languages. I learnt a little bit of prolog and Ocaml in school and have been itching to make some time to finally buckle down and learn Erlang properly. As you mentioned, with the focus on concurrency, Erlang sounds like a good tool to have in the ol’tool belt.

PS: Also take a look at Gambit Scheme. It has similar threads concept incorporated into a scheme language that compiles down to C.
