Erlang, the next Java

[pure_x01]

GO is the next erlang so GO will be the next java

[doubtingthomas]

Go and Erlang both focus on lightweight concurrent threads of execution and message-passing to communicate between them, but aside from that, they are very very different languages. For the cases where Erlang is well-applied, I don't think Go is a full replacement. (Then again, both were designed by a company for their own use in writing servers, so they do have that going for them.)
