summary

Chronicle of building Erlang shows concrete claims and outcomes: a prototype language, a working BEAM virtual machine, a first product called the mobility server that ships and runs, and an open-sourcing decision that frees code and people from Ericsson. Details include design tradeoffs: lightweight processes, mailboxes, selective message reception and links instead of pipes, years of lab experiments, pipe algebra rewrites, and adoption across companies (WhatsApp, Facebook, telecoms) after about thirty years of iterative engineering.
