[erlang-questions] OTP in other languages?

[Raoul Duke]

hi,

I appreciate that OTP is one of Erlang's tremendous strengths. Does
anybody know of work to apply such good ideas in other language
settings?

thanks.

Fail-fast seams to be universal concept for building fault tolerant
systems (and even businesses):

Joe Armstrong thesis (http://www.erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf
,
page 215+) provides software engineering principles many of which can
be applied
to system written in any language.

You might consider contacting Marc Feeley
(http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~feeley/) regarding OTP for Scheme. IIRC
he has a PhD candidate who started last year on this project.

The Scala group has or may be starting a similar effort.
