«hello allan!»

by the way, Erlang was developed in order to allow massively  
multithreaded application to be written efficiently. i.e. it contains  
support for multiple threads, message exchange, distributed  
computation, soft-real-time operation at the syntax level. it's a  
pretty interesting language to hack on.

the language itself was developed at ericsson research labs in order  
to program embedded controllers in telephony-related equipment  
(switches and whatchanameit). I guess the video was part of the  
introductive material that was prob'ly used within ericsson when the  
language was brought in use outside of the research labs.

on a related note, it made me laugh my ass off. ^_^

ciao,

Domenico
