I have started having a play with Erlang, a functional language that is very scalable and allows for distributed applications in it’s design. It is certainly interesting, have a look at http://www.erlang.org/ for more information on the language.

I found a netbeans based IDE for erlang called Erlybird, see http://blogtrader.net/page/dcaoyuan

As it did not seem to have an icon for the ide shortcut, I created my own, feel free to use it.  Download it here in SVG format
