Concurrency
I have been studying Erlang for a few days. I dislike functional languages for various reasons, but I like Erlangs defining characteristics, especially the share-nothing, actor model based concurrency, which makes a whole lot of sense, compared to shared resources that require locking, synchronized and serialized access to them and that leads to problems - sooner or later. Some day I hope I will have the chance to revise our home-grown SGL (Switch Glue Language) based on my findings while groking lua, erlang and other languages. It should make for a really nifty little language.
