Requested move

Erlang programming language → Erlang (programming language) – Conformance with WP naming conventions LotLE×talk

The page was moved. Move discussion is here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Programming languages/Renaming poll.

Mnesia

"Mnesia" redirects here, but this page does not explain it, and has a "see also" link to this redirect.

Hello, World!

Please, add Hello World example.

-module(hello).
-export([hello_world/0]).

hello_world() -> io:format("hello, world\n").

Nine Nines

The nine nines claim is uncited and very dubious (3 sec per decade). It is much more likely to be 5 or 6 nines. Can anyone give a citation for this claim?

Maps Data type

Erlang has a maps (eg. dictionary/object) data type since (?) Version 17.
