Erlang è un linguaggio a mio avviso sottostimato, che ha parecchie cose da insegnare ai vari Scala/Rust/Java(Script) out of there… In particolare ci sono un insieme di feature di Erlang che prese singolarmente non sono difficili da comprendere e implementare, ma è l’insieme delle idee fondanti di Erlang che lo rende assai diverso dagli altri.

Erlang is a great language.

[2019-UPDATE] Erlang 22 is OUT, so I wanna to come to the party!

On April 2015, Erlang father’s Joe Armstrong give us a very interesting lesson I want to tell about.

There was a long thread titled “Erlang and Akka, The Sequel” on the erlang mailing list, reasoning about the need of some standard pattern on Promises and Future. A lot of JavaScript libraries deal about that (also jQuery has its implementation). I want to report the Joe Amstrong reply because it give us a very clear understanding on the reason Erlang is different and you should at least try it once.
