Top 15 Erlang Alternative and Similar Softwares | Apr 2024

Erlang is a general-purpose concurrent, garbage-collected programming language and runtime system used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability.
The sequential subset of Erlang is a functional language, with eager evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing. It was designed by Ericsson to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-real-time, non-stop applications. It supports hot swapping, so that code can be changed without stopping a system. ...
