Open Telecoms Platform. Not one-time password. I had to look that up.
- cpursley 3y agoOTP has been around probably longer than you have.
- usr1106 3y agoNot true. Erlang is from 1986. I programmed BASIC in 1980 and Pascal in 1983. Of course I have heard Erlang. Wikipedia says Erlang/OTP is a synomym. That I managed not to notice for 38 years.
- sodapopcan 3y agoEssentially a synonym ya. Within the BEAM community when people say OTP they often are referring to Erlang's massive standard library (which includes stuff like process management, a key/value store, a relational database, a state machine, and a ton of other goodies) whereas Erlang refers to the language itself. Eg, when programming in Elixir we use OTP, not Erlang.
- cpursley 3y agoVery cool!
- ch4s3 3y agoOTP doesn't mean Open Telecoms Platform anymore. Yes it's on Wikipedia because that was the historical name and use case, but the Erlang maintainers and the ecosystem foundation the EEF refer to it simply as OTP, Erlang's standard library. From Erlang's website: >OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. It includes its own distributed database, applications to interface towards other languages, debugging and release handling tools.
