Erlang and OpenFlow Together At Last

New submitter SIGSTOP writes "The LINC [OpenFlow 1.2 software-based] switch has now been released as commercial friendly open source through the FlowForwarding.org community website, encouraging users and vendors to use LINC and contribute to its development. The initial LINC implementation focuses on correctness and feature compliance. Through an abstraction layer, specialized network hardware drivers can be easily interfaced to LINC. It has been implemented in Erlang, the concurrent soft-real time programming language invented by Ericsson to develop their next generation networks."

It may be tough to learn, but it has enough software written in it to prove its wirth.

I'm not sure Wirth had much to do with Erlang.

I know I'm in the minority here, but still I look back to the days of (pre-turbo) pascal and (pre-95) Ada with fondness.

And you still hang out on slashdot, rather than reddit or Y combinator. Don't worry, you're probably not in a minority here.
