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 ...
BEAM is the virtual machine at the core of the Erlang Open Telecom Platform (OTP). [1] BEAM is part of the Erlang Run-Time System (ERTS), which compiles Erlang source code into bytecode, which is then executed on the BEAM. [2] [3] BEAM bytecode files have the .beam file extension. [4]
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.
Lisp Flavored Erlang (LFE) is a functional, concurrent, garbage collected, general-purpose programming language and Lisp dialect built on Core Erlang and the Erlang virtual machine . LFE builds on Erlang to provide a Lisp syntax for writing distributed, fault-tolerant , soft real-time , non-stop applications.
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.
OTP is a collection of useful middleware, libraries, and tools written in the Erlang programming language.It is an integral part of the open-source distribution of Erlang. . The name OTP was originally an acronym for Open Telecom Platform, which was a branding attempt before Ericsson released Erlang/OTP as open sou
Declarative programming stands in contrast to imperative programming via imperative programming languages, where control flow is specified by serial orders (imperatives). (Pure) functional and logic-based programming languages are also declarative, and constitute the major subcategories of the declarative category. This section lists additional ...
Erlang is an open source programming language. Multiple development environments (including IDEs and source code editors with plug-ins adding IDE features) have support for Erlang.
