Erlang/OTP

Erlang/OTP, developed by Ericsson, is a run-time and development environment primarily for building and running software systems with extreme non-stop requirements. Erlang is a fully fledged programming language promoting concurrency oriented programming style. OTP is a framework on top of Erlang, developed in Erlang, which provides rules and skeleton-code supporting best practice. OTP also comes with many ready to use components. Erlang is highly declarative in its nature and therefore provides short development-test-deployment cycles.

Some of Erlang/OTP's major strength are:

  • In-language support for massive light-weight concurrency.
  • Hot code replacement.
  • Hardware and operating system independent virtual machine. Allows for network exchange of object-code.
  • Built in network-distribution making scaling for redundancy and/or performance easy.
  • Soft real-time characteristics.
  • Included real-time distributed and replicated database.
 

Today Erlang/OTP exists for a number of operating systems. Most commonly used are Sun Solaris, Windows (95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP), Linux, Free BSD and WindRiver VxWorks.

Erlang dates back to the early 90's. Modern Erlang with OTP is from the middle of the 90's. Erlang/OTP is available on commercial terms and since 1998 also as open-source. Technical support can be purchased from several commercial providers such as Sjöland & Thyselius Telecom AB.

Erlang is named after the Danish mathematician Agner Krarup Erlang (1878-1929).

Looking for the Erlang formula?

Though the Erlang formula is also named after Agner Krarup Erlang, Erlang/OTP has nothing to do with it. Please try www.erlang.com.
