Erlang https://learnyousomeerlang.com/ If you know golang and recurrence it should be easy, google basically stole channels from Erlang and syntax from Swift. Like everything else, they just stealing stuff and claiming they're great. Fucking rich script kiddies.
Using concepts from other programming languages isn't stealing
Let me rephrase it. It wasn't original idea. Scandinavian made it first Americans just copied and sold it.
Erlang wasn't the first implementation of CSP.
It's just an idea, and a good one at that. It makes sense other languages would use it.
