If do not know Erlang already, you should take a look at it. It is very interesting programming language and it is very addictive from my point of view .  I started to play with Erlang about two years ago. Later I bought Joe’s great book. To be short. My journey with Erlang started with shock from all this functional stuff, but after some time I realized, that I started to love it (and missing it while writing an imperative code). OK enough…

Here are my reasons why I love Erlang:

• Concurrency
• Syntax
• Expressiveness
• Pattern matching
• Distributed model

List of thing that I am still missing or can be better:

• IDE or more enhanced editor
• Improved documentation
• More libraries and tools….
• Working with character data
• Namespaces or some like that, for better code/application granularity

Positive things on Erlang still rules, especially expressiveness is very important for me.

Happy tail-recursioning
