Erlang and Ajax Web Applications
Today web development is dominated by PHP, ASP, RubyOnRails and
numerous Java frameworks, most of them focus on serverside HTML
generation. Web developers start to become aware of Erlang, but the
majority doesn’t feel yet the need to leave their easily learned and
simple to use language or framework. Any attempt to write a web
framework in a functional language so far mostly managed to attract
only developers which were already familiar with that specific
language. But next generation Ajax Web applications are different and
have different web server and framework requirements and fortunately
this requirements match very well with what Erlang has to offer.
