- Most of the concepts in Erlang have been taken from modern programming
- languages that have proven to be good. The languages Prolog, Strand, Parlog
- and Eri-Pascal have had an especially high influence. Erlang was created as
- a result of ongoing research at the Ericsson and Ellemtel Computer Science
- laboratory regarding ways to improve the software development of telecom
- applications. Many of the Erlang primitives provide solutions to problems
- that are commonly encountered when programming large, concurrent, real-time
- systems.
+Erlang is a small concurrent functional programming language
+developed by Ericsson. It is being used by Ericsson as a systems
+programming language for large concurrent distributed systems.
- The language is based on the functional programmint theory.
