Open Source Erlang is a functional programming language designed at the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory.

Some of Erlang main features are: * Clear declarative syntax and is largely free from side-effects; * Built-in support for real-time, concurrent and distributed programming; * Designed for development of robust and continuously operated programs; * Dynamic code replacement at runtime.

The Erlang distribution also includes OTP (Open Telecom Platform) which provides a rich set of libraries and applications.

This package is a dummy package which will install Erlang/OTP runtime, applications, sources, code examples and the Erlang editing mode for Emacs.
