The Erlang version has stuff related to concurrency. @John Bender – it’s not a question of the niceness it’s a question of priorities and interest

@Dr. Ernie – it’s about coverage and specification based generation of test cases. The Erlang version has stuff related to concurrency.

Got to see it through a test and verification course at uni and it definitely has potential but lacks a user base and good documentation. I'd say, charge for the services, release the code (which should also give documentation, tutorials and examples a boost), similar to many other FOSS apps/services. @Dr.Ernie, if you get the chance, I can definitely recommend you to look into QuickCheck. Awesome for hunting weird random errors, deadlocks and the like. /Marcus (archie) I too agree that QuickCheck should be released open source or under some equivalent license.

Is that similar in concept to a "mocking" framework? Is there anything specific to parallelism, or more to monadic computation? -- Ernie P. http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Introduction_to_QuickCheck Hi Ted,

While there are few crotchety souls in #erlang It seems like most people working with Erlang are quite nice. Only cooler community I've found was Haskell's. “There’s also the issue of the Erlang community itself.”
