About Erlang

Erlang was created in 1986 by the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory to address the need for highly reliable and concurrent systems in telecommunications. It was designed to support distributed, fault-tolerant applications with real-time capabilities. The language became open source in 1998, which significantly broadened its adoption and development.

Erlang's strengths include excellent concurrency support, fault tolerance, and suitability for distributed systems. Its weaknesses are a relatively steep learning curve, limited library ecosystem, and less mainstream adoption. Competitors include Elixir, Go, and Akka (Scala).
