<div>Besides that I think the whole let it crash philosophy is what makes Erlang stand-out from the others, most if not all language features do exist in other languages. And OTP is of course a huge corner stone that you don't find in many other languages.<br></div>

been asked to provide a simple example of something that your can only<br>
do in erlang.<br> <br>
My reason for pushing to adopt this in our tech stack is that much of<br>
the system code I've written I feel I could write easier in Erlang and<br>
do it faster. I feel like one of the unique offerings of erlang<br>
relates to distributed computing or OTP reliable systems.<br> <br> <br>
Does anyone have thoughts on this question ? "What can I do in Erlang<br>
that I can't do in another language?"<br> <br>
Ideally it would be something small that I could use as a demonstration.<br> <br>
Thank you for any thoughts.<br> <br>
