Over the past 6 months I have been working on a crap load of projects in several different languages (C, SmallTalk, Lisp, Ruby, Python, Erlang), some client work, but mostly open source projects. I love hacking on all kinds of cool projects and languages. I believe it is very important f

-export ([go/0, loop/0]).
go() ->
    Pid = spawn(echo, loop, []),
    Pid ! {self(), hello},

I started playing around with Erlang a few weeks ago. I have to say that this language is very powerful and a lot of fun.

Erlang is a programming language designed for building highly parallel, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. It has been used commercially for many years to build massive fault-tolerant systems which run for years with minimal failures.

Erlang programs run seamlessly on multi-core computers. This means your Erlang program should run 4
