Erlang (/ ˈ ɜːr l æ ŋ / UR-lang) is a general-purpose, concurrent, functional high-level programming language, and a garbage-collected runtime system.The term Erlang is used interchangeably with Erlang/OTP, or Open Telecom Platform (OTP), which consists of the Erlang runtime system, several ready-to-use components (OTP) mainly written in Erlang, and a set of design principles for Erlang ...
Elixir is a functional, concurrent, high-level general-purpose programming language that runs on the BEAM virtual machine, which is also used to implement the Erlang programming language. [3] Elixir builds on top of Erlang and shares the same abstractions for building distributed, fault-tolerant applications.
When funding for AI dried up as a result of the famous Lighthill report, it was back to physics-related programming for more than half a decade, first at the EISCAT scientific association and later the Swedish Space Corporation, before finally joining the Ericsson Computer Science Lab where he invented Erlang.
Whereas the earliest algorithmic art was "drawn" by a plotter, fractal art simply creates an image in computer memory; it is therefore digital art. The native form of a fractal artwork is an image stored on a computer –this is also true of very nearly all equation art and of most recent algorithmic art in general. However, in a stricter sense ...
Although BEAM was created for Erlang, several other languages have been either created for it or ported to run on it. The most popular of these is Elixir, which had more responses than Erlang itself in a 2023 Stack Overflow developer survey. [9] Other notable examples include: Clojerl, [10] a port of Clojure to BEAM
Erlang (programming language), a programming language Erlang (unit) , a unit to measure traffic in telecommunications or other domains Erlang distribution , a probability distribution describing the time between events
Gleam is a general-purpose, concurrent, functional high-level programming language that compiles to Erlang or JavaScript source code. [2] [7] [8] Gleam is a statically-typed language, [9] which is different from the most popular languages that run on Erlang’s virtual machine BEAM, Erlang and Elixir.
An esoteric programming language (sometimes shortened to esolang) is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, as software art, as a hacking interface to another language (particularly functional programming or procedural programming languages), or as a joke.
