It is described as a concurrent language which works well for multicore computers. Erlang was developed at the Ericsson telecommunications firm with an emphasis on fault-tolerance, and is said to use a non-defensive programming style which deals with crashes by passing only complete and self-contained messages from machine to machine. This method is described as scaling well, since it allows components to crash without affecting the overall system. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2010 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
