1997: the development of erlang, joe armstrong

Erlang was designed for writing concurrent programs that “run forever.” ...

At the time Erlang was first implemented, the view that processes were part of the language rather than the operating system was not widely held (even today, it is a minority view). The only languages having this view of the world that we were aware of at that time were Ada (with tasks), EriPascal (an Ericsson dialect of Pascal with concurrent processes), Chill (with processes), PLEX (with its own special form of processes implemented in hardware) and Euclid.

a sort of erlang in 11 minutes, yet there is the original.
