+Erlang is a programming language which has many features more commonly
+associated with an operating system than with a programming language:
+concurrent processes, scheduling, memory management, distribution,
+networking, etc.
+
+The initial open-source Erlang release contains the implementation of
+Erlang, as well as a large part of Ericsson's middleware for building
+distributed high-availability systems.
