Why HN links it

HN readers link this blog's post on Erlang-style programming, which sets out what the style involves, as a reference when comparing Erlang with Java, Node.js and Scheme concurrency.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

    Here is a little check-list for people to follow before they write a blog post about how one can do Erlang style concurrency in another programming language: http://ulf.wiger.net/weblog/2008/02/06/what-is-erlang-style-...
