Introducing Erlang

Books I've Read, programming

Pretty short but clear book on Erlang. The first half consists of things I’m familiar with already (immutability, pattern matching, recursion, higher order functions). It was the last half that I was more interested in, process oriented programming and OTP. I’ll have to read a more in depth book to understand it thoroughly, but it’s a very interesting approach.

Alan Kay said Erlang is closer to what he meant by object oriented than Java or C++
