Did Erlang borrow from Ada?

Hello 

> Did Erlang borrow from Ada?

In my licentiate thesis from the year 2000,
I wrote:

"Erlang is aptly described as a concurrent functional
 programming language combining two main traditions:

 - Concurrent programming languages: Modula, Chill,
    Ada, etc. from ehich Erlang inherits modules,
    processes, and process communication.

 - Functional and logic programming languages: Haskell,
    ML, Miranda, Lisp, etc. from which Erlang inherits
    atoms, lists, guards, pattern matching, catch and
    throw, etc."

Have a nice summer
