A computer system comprises hardware and software components, aiming to offer a powerful computational tool. These systems play a crucial role across diverse domains, aiding us in numerous tasks. The prevalence of the internet has significantly bolstered the utilization of computers for information sharing and communication. Computer systems empower us to store, process, display, and transmit information. Even in a basic modern computer system, multiple programs are typically required to carry out various functions effectively.

Erlang language

Erlang is a declarative language for programming concurrent and distributed systems which was developed by the authors at the Ericsson and Ellemtel Computer Science Laboratories.

The first version was developed by Joe Armstrong in 1986. It was originally a proprietary language within Ericsson, but was released as open source in 1998.

Erlang belongs to the family of pattern-matching languages, which amounts to tons ofnstructural tests and value tests being done all the time in Erlang code.

The name of Erlang attributed to Agner Krarup Erlang (1878–1929) was a Danish mathematician who developed a theory of stochastic processes in statistical equilibrium.

This programming is a general-purpose concurrent, garbage-collected programming language and runtime system. The sequential subset of Erlang is a functional language, with strict evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing.

Concurrency is explicit and the user can precisely control which computations are performed sequentially and which are performed in parallel.
