People are talking about Erlang. This talk is disproportionately about concurrency rather than any of the other powerful properties of the platform, such as reliability. This article is about a property of Erlang which does not get the credit it deserves - Erlang is a fantastic workbench for Domain Specific Languages. The domain I have chosen is investment finance. You will see how easy it is to translate plain English at runtime and execute it in the Erlang Runtime System. You may also learn a thing or two about functional programming. The Erlang reference manual is a good place to start if you get lost along the way.
