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?
