Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World

I think Erlang is going to be hot. Who can ignore a production-ready functional language that was built to be massively concurrent and reliable? Unfortunately the Internet doesn’t agree with me, yet.

Down: Rails

Up: Django and Zend Framework(?!)

Odd: Erlang (Erlang is hot… but I guess not that well known yet?)

sudo port install erlang

I got this error:

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: tk tcl
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

To fix it, I needed to move aside the iPhone SDK include files during the installation.

sudo mv /usr/local/include /usr/local/include.bak; sudo port install erlang; sudo mv /usr/local/include.bak /usr/local/include

Rewrite Twitter in Erlang. That would be awesome.
