I am new to this Erlang forum so please excuse any 'newbe' errors on my part.<br>I recently learned of the power of Erlang while attending a conference and while I find the technology<br>of the Erlang language interesting, I am really curious how Ericsson engineering and management had the<br>
courage to produce a real revenue generating product on a radical previously unproven design.<br><br>Many companies have internal engineering resources to create innovative research projects but it is<br>rare for these research projects to make the transition to shipping products complete with all the quality<br>
control and field support required.<br><br>I would be curious to learn how Ericsson managed this transition from an internal R&D development to<br>a real shipping product.<br>
