This talk will cover the history of Erlang, demonstrate major design goals with a few programming examples and also touch on the subject of the future of Erlang.
The programming language Erlang, new if even known at all to most computer programmers, secretly celebrates its 20th birthday year 2007. Erlang was developed with goals such as high-availability, "prototypeability"/maintainability and scalability over an at design time unknown number of CPUs. All goals are still challenges in software development. The scalability property has however reached another dimension due to the past few years development in the field of common and affordable multi core processors.
