Oh no! Not another programming language! Do I have to learn yet another
one? Aren’t there enough already?
I can understand your reaction. There are loads of programming lan-
guages, so why should you learn another?
Here are five reasons why you should learn Erlang:
• You want to write programs that run faster when you run them on
a multicore computer.
• You want to write fault-tolerant applications that can be modified
without taking them out of service.
• You’ve heard about “functional programming” and you’re wonder-
ing whether the techniques really work.
• You want to use a language that has been battle tested in real
large-scale industrial products that has great libraries and an
active user community.
• You don’t want to wear your fingers out by typing lots of lines of
code.
