What type of programming based language do 'erlang' is?

Question

Erlang is a text messaging based language

Answer 1

Erlang is a 'functional' programming language (same family as Haskell, Scala, Scheme, etc). Erlang was developed at Ericcson and was designed with a focus on massive parallelism - it's original domain was networking, but I think it is used more widely now (maybe Erlang experts can comment - I'm not one).

In contrast C/C++/D/Java/C#/Go/Rust/Pascal/etc are all "imperative" procedural programming languages.

There has been a few imperative languages (notably D - maybe others too) that incorporates some functional features - usually around functional purity.
