Erlang vs Eve: What are the differences?
Developers describe Erlang as "A programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability". Some of Erlang's uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. On the other hand, Eve is detailed as "Programming designed for humans". Eve is a programming language and IDE based on years of research into building a human-first programming platform. From code embedded in documents to a language without order, it presents an alternative take on what programming could be - one that focuses on us instead of the machine.
Erlang and Eve belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.
Erlang and Eve are both open source tools. Erlang with 7.74K GitHub stars and 2.1K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Eve with 6.79K GitHub stars and 240 GitHub forks.
