References

Here you’ll find a list of reading material relevant to the Erlisp project. Because this list has gotten quite extensive, I’ve made a primitive search function and started to categorize the references. Many references deal with more than one topic, and are therefore listed in more than one category.

Concurrency
Distribution
Green threads / coroutines / continuations
Parallellism
Fault-tolerance / security
Foreign Language Interfaces
Garbage collection
Languages
Ada
Alice
Cω
E
Erlang
Haskell
Io
Java
Lisp
Oz
Pascal-FC
Python
Metaobject protocols / Open Implementation
Pattern matching

All of these features can be easily used, either in isolation or together.”
