The erlang language has been mentioned as a promising platform, with
respect to issues of oncurrency.

The erlang site has something called
 An Erlang Course
 http://www.erlang.org/course/course.html

a 5-module (4 not counting the introductory History one) study program.
It even has with some programming exercises.

Would erlang be a good thing for everyday programmers to have some
familiarity with?

Does anyone think this study course might be worth trying to cover in
LPSG? Maybe in a communal seminar fashion, if there is enough interest
and commitment.

Interest in this kind of thing has tended to peter out in the past ..
does anyone think something a bit more exotic might do better?
