Product Information
What is Erlang?
Erlang is a general-purpose, concurrent, garbage-collected programming language and runtime system designed for building large-scale, scalable soft real-time systems with high availability requirements. The sequential subset of Erlang is a functional language featuring eager evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing. Developed by Ericsson, it was created to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft real-time, non-stop applications. It supports hot swapping, allowing code to be modified without stopping the system.
Some of its applications include telecommunications, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony, and instant messaging. The Erlang runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution, and fault tolerance.
