Not 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.
