As of late, Erlang (the functional programming language behind ejabberd and portions of Facebook) has been picking up steam and gaining some popularity. Recently, there was a question regarding Erlounge meetings in Missouri on the Erlang email list. I have personally been hacking around with Erlang for a few months and decided it would be the perfect time to start ErloungeSTL.

I am proud to announce the first meeting will be held at Contegix on September 11th at 7pm. There will be something for the seasoned Erlanger as well as the novice. The presentations/sessions should be interesting for anyone that has a background or interest in Erlang, functional languages, concurrent programming, or just programming.  More info can be found here.

All are welcome to come.  Contegix will be providing food and drinks to celebrate this first step.
