Erlang Questions

We are considering using Erlang for our new project, which includes some rich web applications and background data / text analysis. In this regard, I had the following questions.

  • Is there an equivalent coffeescript Erlang? Coffeescript itself brings a lot of good Erlang for client-side programming. But I wanted to check if there is anything other than coffeescript that is closer to Erlang's style / syntax. Of course, we understand that most of the erlang core functionality will not be available in the browser; my question was more in terms of language structure. Perhaps the fact that JS also supports OO and Erlang, is FP, can be a hindrance to expressing JavaScript constructs in Erlang.

  • Does Erlang have open source machine learning tools? Like for Weka (Java) or R for machine learning and Gate (Java), NLTK (Python) for text mining?

Thanks in advance,

  • As far as I know, there are no similar analogues. There are several experimental projects such as erlyjs , but they are all experimental.
  • You can use an external computer learning library through Erlang ports . In my project I use erlport . ErlPort is a Python library that implements the external Erlang expression format and Erlang port protocol to simplify Erlang and Python / NLTK integration.
