Folks,

My apologies for keeping quiet but I'm trying to wrap my head around
electronics, the marine branch in particular.

There could be plenty of fun applications of Erlang here, all of them
on embedded hardware. Marine applications, after all, require high
reliability!

I'll twit at http://twitter.com/wagerlabs as I go along and will blog
and post here once I have made progress.

Happy holidays, Joel

Do these chips have that option? I thought most of these only offered
C.

What chips and what option?

Those marine electronics chips you talked about in Twitter. Forgot their name.
And the option to program in Erlang in any embedded system.

Oh, there no specific marine chips. Marine applications use regular
microcontrollers and embedded PCs.

These may run Linux or Windows (XP, Vista) and so you would compile
Erlang on them as you would on any other system.
