I have taken on the task of learning erlang. I was trying to decide between
|
|
learninng Haskell, OCaml, or Erlang. OCaml, I decided against since it had too
|
|
close a similarity to C and I wanted to really stretch myself.
|
|
Haskell and Erlang both fit that bill however I found the Erlang
|
|
Documentation to be far better for someone completely new to the functional
|
|
programming world. Haskell's idea of a tutorial tried to cover too many
|
|
concepts at once and took too long to get to the hands on stuff. Also erlang
|
|
offered the opportunity to learn Distributed programming concepts along the way
|
|
so erlang it was. You can see my first erlang project
