Good luck!! Who knows, maybe you will create a "picoErlang" :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 6:22 PM, Alpár Jüttner <<a href="mailto:alpar@cs.elte.hu">alpar@cs.elte.hu</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>I don't think so. For example I'm working on a controlling application<br>
which could probably run on the weakest possible hardware, but would be<br>
a great struggle to implement in any sequential programming language<br>
(because I need the various timers and complex scheduling of action and<br>
handing of events).<br>
<br>
For these kinds of tasks, Erlang fits extremely well. I think a<br>
lightweight version of the erlang emulator could find a lot of<br>
applications in this area.<br>
