Fascinating! Long ago I came to the conclusion that multithreaded applications in the sense of shared memory protected by locks was simply too difficult for humans to reliably work with. As a result, it turns out I reinvented erlang behaviours in C++ (along with light processes and message passing in the form of Queues and Threads). I may have been influenced by erlang at the time. All of the behaviours listed were replicated. Convergent design I suppose.

So, you can probably create erlang behaviours in any language, but it requires building a framework and then training every developer in how to use it. There is probably value in having a standard version of erlang behaviours for a range of different languages.

I predict the next several generations of programmers will spend a lot of time and energy to reimplement most of Erlang/OTP in curly brace languages in a variation of Greenspun's 10th rule.

That's already the case. Why stop now?

Is there a rust equivalent?
