What's frightening about it is how closely those requirements also scream "Ada" - which seems to have become the language of choice for aviation software - both hard real-time fly-by-wire software and massively distributed systems for air traffic control. (Dare I say it, another language that "flys under the radar." :-)<br>

Talk about divergent solutions to similar requirements.</div></blockquote></div><br>I'll claim that they cover different areas. The key difference is hard vs soft real time. Where Ada can work with the former, Erlang relaxes the requirement to soft realtime and gains a lot of benefits by doing so.</div>
