Erlang

I'm in the process of learning Erlang, and feel enthusiastic about it so far, to the point I ponder the idea of experimenting quite seriously for my own things (Web sites, own tools, etc.).

Besides the real Erlang documentation, I saved a skinny Erlang summary.

Using a collection of slides (written in French), I also presented my Erlang impressions to a few co-workers. If you choose to visit this link, wait a few seconds for the JavaScript to trigger the presentation, than use the arrow keys to move between the slides. Yet without the verbal comments, the slides are somehow meaningless in my opinion.
