- chops 11y agoThe idea that Erlang/OTP is an OS is something promoted by Garrett Smith in this talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGHzI9F5YE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGHzI9F5YE), and the idea that it is intentionally OS-like has been promoted by the Robert Virding and Joe Armstrong (https://twitter.com/rvirding/status/386612140242915328 https://twitter.com/rvirding/status/386612140242915328) And two different lisps: * Lisp Flavored Erlang (http://lfe.io/ http://lfe.io/) * Joxa (http://joxa.org/ http://joxa.org/)
