Most of the concepts in Erlang have been taken from modern programming
languages that have proven to be good. The languages Prolog, Strand, Parlog
and Eri-Pascal have had an especially high influence. Erlang was created as
a result of ongoing research at the Ericsson and Ellemtel Computer Science
laboratory regarding ways to improve the software development of telecom
applications. Many of the Erlang primitives provide solutions to problems
that are commonly encountered when programming large, concurrent, real-time
systems.
The language is based on the functional programmint theory.
