"I have finally released LFE, Lisp Flavoured Erlang, which is a lisp syntax front-end to the Erlang compiler. Code produced with it is compatible with "normal" Erlang code. The is an LFE-mode for Emacs and the lfe-mode.el file is include in the distribution..."

"...They started using Python, then they switched to Rails, and finally settled on pure Erlang. Using Erlang, they replaced a combination of Lighttpd + RoR + SQLlite + XMLRpc + Jython + Lucene with the much simpler and highly scalable stack of Yaws + Mnesia + Erlang..."

"...Recently, I've heard a lot about Erlang, especially from curious members of the Ruby community. This article is the result of my quick dive into the language, and will hopefully serve as a starting point for anyone else who's been hearing the buzz, but hasn't taken the plunge yet..."

Erlang certainly belongs in the category, and we've written about it several times before. Erlang is, among other things, a serious language: its best-known applications are in big mission-critical telecommunications systems, the German national air-traffic control organization, and Facebook's chat.

"If any language could be said to be ideally placed to deal with the challenges of the next 10 years it's Erlang. Designed from the ground up to take advantage of parallel and multi-core architectures, and natively supporting distributed systems coding, Erlang is a valuable addition to your programming skill set..."

If you ask for the languages of the moment, you will hear people talk about Ruby, C#, JavaScript, Erlang, Python or even Haskell. You probably won't hear Perl mentioned. Perl's current standing is like that of JavaScript a few years ago.

"It has been a couple of weeks that I have been playing around with Erlang. And I must say that my impression so far has been positive. You may wonder why? Read on..."

Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. Parrot is not about parrots, though we are rather fond of them for obvious reasons.

"There seems to be an interesting attraction between Erlang and Lisp and several times it has been tried to marry them, in different ways. Bill Clementson wrote about it already in his article "Concurrent/Parallel Programming - The Next Generation". Here is an updated list: ..."
