Erlang          1. {A. K. Erlang}.   (The other senses were named       after him).          2. A concurrent {functional language} for large       industrial {real-time} systems by Armstrong, Williams and       Virding of Ellemtel, Sweden.          Erlang is untyped.   It has {pattern matching} syntax,       {recursion equations}, explicit {concurrency}, {asynchronous       message passing} and is relatively free from {side-effects}.       It supports transparent cross-{platform} distribution.   It has       primitives for detecting run-time errors, real-time {garbage       collection}, {modules}, {dynamic code replacement} (change       code in a continuously running real-time system) and a       {foreign language interface}.          An unsupported free version is available (subject to a       non-commercial licence).   Commercial versions with support are       available from {Erlang Systems AB}.   An {interpreter} in       {SICStus Prolog} and compilers in {C} and Erlang are available       for several {Unix} {platforms}.          {Open Telecom Platform} (OTP) is a set of {libraries} and       tools.          {Commercial version (http://www.erlang.se/)} - sales, support,       training, consultants.   {Open-source version       (http://www.erlang.org/)} - downloads, user-contributed       software, mailing lists.          {Training and consulting (http://www.erlang-consulting.com/)}.          E-mail: .          [Erlang - "Concurrent Programming in Erlang", J. Armstrong, M.       & Williams R. Virding, Prentice Hall, 1993. ISBN 13-285792-8.]          3. 36 {CCS} per hour, or 1 call-second per second.          Erlang is a unit without dimension, accepted internationally       for measuring the traffic intensity.   This unit is defined as       the aggregate of continuous occupation of a channel for one       hour (3600 seconds).   An intensity of one Erlang means the       channel is continuously occupied.          (2003-03-25)
