Ideas for a New Erlang
This paper presents some thoughts and ideas on the future development
of Erlang.
Among the topics are:
- an alternative to Erlang's selective
receive,
- a simple language mechanism to allow function in-lining
across module boundaries,
- a new mechanism for introducing local
variables with a more cleanly defined semantics, and
- a mini-language
to allow the efficient implementation of low-level algorithms.
