Erlang solves one of the most pressing problems facing developers today: how to write reliable, concurrent, high-performance systems.

It's used worldwide by companies who need to produce reliable, efficient, and scalable applications.

Invest in learning Erlang now.

Moore's Law is the observation that the amount you can do on a single chip doubles every two years.

But Moore's Law is taking a detour.

Rather than producing faster and faster processors, companies such as Intel and AMD are producing multi-core devices: single chips containing two, four, or more processors.

If your programs aren't concurrent, they'll only run on a single processor at a time.
