Er Lang; Erlang (disambiguation)
1. <person> Agner Krarup Erlang. (The other senses were named after him). 2. <language> A concurrent functional language for large industrial real-time systems by Armstrong, Williams and Virding of Ellemtel, Sweden. Erlang is untyped. It has pattern matching syntax, recursion equations, explicit concurrency, {asynchronous message passing} and is relatively free from side-effects. It supports transparent cross-platform distribution. It has primitives for detecting run-time errors, real-time {garbage collection}, modules, dynamic code replacement (change code in a continuously running real-time system) and a foreign language interface. An unsupported free version is available (subject to a non-commercial licence). Commercial versions with support are available from Erlang Systems AB. An interpreter in SICStus Prolog and compilers in C and Erlang are available for several Unix platforms. Open Telecom Platform (OTP) is a set of libraries and tools. Commercial version (http://erlang.se/) - sales, support, training, consultants. {Open-source version (http://erlang.org/)} - downloads, user-contributed software, mailing lists. erlang-consulting.com/">Training and consulting (http://erlang-consulting.com/).

ISBN 13-285792-8.] 3. <unit> 36 CCS per hour, or 1 call-second per second. Erlang is a unit without dimension, accepted internationally for measuring the traffic intensity. This unit is defined as the aggregate of continuous occupation of a channel for one hour (3600 seconds). An intensity of one Erlang means the channel is continuously occupied. (2003-03-25)

Wikipedia

Erlang (programming language)

Erlang ( UR-lang) is a general-purpose, concurrent, functional high-level programming language, and a garbage-collected runtime system. The term Erlang is used interchangeably with Erlang/OTP, or Open Telecom Platform (OTP), which consists of the Erlang runtime system, several ready-to-use components (OTP) mainly written in Erlang, and a set of design principles for Erlang programs.

The Erlang runtime system is designed for systems with these traits:

  • Distributed
  • Fault-tolerant
  • Soft real-time
  • Highly available, non-stop applications
  • Hot swapping, where code can be changed without stopping a system.

The Erlang programming language has immutable data, pattern matching, and functional programming. The sequential subset of the Erlang language supports eager evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing.

A normal Erlang application is built out of hundreds of small Erlang processes.

It was originally proprietary software within Ericsson, developed by Joe Armstrong, Robert Virding, and Mike Williams in 1986, but was released as free and open-source software in 1998. Erlang/OTP is supported and maintained by the Open Telecom Platform (OTP) product unit at Ericsson.
