[erlang-questions] Hi everyone

Hi all!, I would like to introduce myself, I'm Ivan I was here two years ago
posting in this mail list, I'm from Cuba I was down for so long and I would
like to get active again. I don't know if some of you remember me, I was
posting the subject of Pythagorean's numbers and the best way to solve it in
Erlang, here is some of your solutions by then. I also was doing a framework
called EVO (Extended Visual Otp) to communicate CSharp with Erlang to make
client-server applications. I was down for private reasons but I never
forgot about Erlang that I have in my defense. Now I would like to post
again and continue my learning in Erlang. Thanks and sorry about all this,
but I really missed this mailing list. I would like to send specials thanks
to Joe Armstrong, Hynek, Willem, Tony, a friend from Spain who lived in
Cuba, Vertientes, I don't remember his name, and all of you that make this
possible.
 
Best, your friend Ivan.
