I'm going to roll in and ask a super-rookie question. I'm trying to follow this: http://egarson.blogspot.com.au/2008/03/real-erlang-hello-world.html I eventually resorted to just copy-pasting his code, I'm running it from erlide in eclipse. It compiles and runs without errors, but when you get to the point of going Pid ! hello. It does nothing. Nothing returns, the print statement doesn't fire, no crashes either. I'm stumped, what have I messed up? edit: MononcQc, if you wrote "learn you some erlang", that's fantastic, that's where I found out about erlang!

Hrm, seems you're right, it works fine when I run it from the command prompt. Well that's mighty infuriating, there's little point working in an IDE but compiling and running separately. Is there a known fix, or alternatively another IDE for erlang that offers similar conveniences?

Erlang conveniently integrates with the windows shell, at least in the version I'm using. You can right click the .erl files and there's a compile option. I don't know how much erlide is getting me, I'm literally 5 minutes into my first time using erlang. In general, I start with the assumption that IDE's are better. If nothing else, the eclipse run button and project management are super-handy, and there's always the chance of a proper breakpoints based debugger and memory interrogation, as well. On the other hand, if the IDE is flat out broken and there are no alternatives... Sir_Substance fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Feb 8, 2014 |

This language is hilarious. I reserve judgment on useful until I know what the gently caress I'm doing, but it's funny as all hell to work with.
