Erlang

Programming Languages

Erlang is a functional, concurrent programming language originally developed by Ericsson for building highly available, fault-tolerant telecommunications systems. It is known for its lightweight process model and is used today in systems requiring massive concurrency and uptime, such as WhatsApp's messaging backend and various distributed databases. Software engineers use Erlang (and its Elixir derivative) for real-time, distributed, and fault-tolerant applications.
