Erlang is a functional language developed by Ericsson to handle telecommunications over exchanges. Erlang runs on the BEAM virtual machine which compiles Erlang to C for application performance.
In JVM technologies, Erlang is most similar to Scala Play.
“If Java is 'write once, run anywhere', then Erlang is 'write once, run forever'.”
- Joe Armstrong 2013
