I've installed Erlang on Athena for Sun and Linux. From my message to users:
You are using Erlang, which has recently been installed on
Athena. Erlang is a functional programming language that incorporates
features more commonly associated with an operating system such as
concurrent processes, scheduling, memory management, distributed
computing and networking.
To access the Erlang shell/runtime:
add erlang
erl
There are a few simple demo programs at the top level of the
erlang_vR10B-10 locker (hello.erl, board.erl) with comments that
explain how to run them, and there is introductory information with
examples at http://web.mit.edu/erlang_vR10B-10/white_paper.html.
Local documentation starts at
http://web.mit.edu/erlang_vR10B-10/arch/sun4x_510/lib/erlang/doc/index.html
There is an online tutorial course at
http://www.erlang.org/course/course.html and other information is
available at the Erlang Web site http://www.erlang.org.
