Could we call Erlang/Elixir are Architecture Oriented Languages (AOL)?
A my friend asked me why I’m interested in Erlang/Elixir and what is the motto of them?
I said that:
- “write once, run forever”.
[Joe Armstrong remarked in an interview with Rackspace in 2013: "If Java is ‘write once, run anywhere’, then Erlang is ‘write once, run forever’.”
Erlang (programming language) - Wikipedia] - Nanoservices
[José Valim mentioned “You are already designing your system around tiny processes that are isolated and distributed. Call them nanoservices if you’d like to!”
]
…and Erlang/Elixir are Architecture Oriented Languages (AOL).
[I thought that as the favor of OTP and BEAM]
Then my friend: “WOW! lemme touch AOL”.

I like that naming convention a lot!
I tend to organize my code with equal attention to the functional aspects of the language and the integration with OTP - so I think in some ways that’s a fair statement.
… But at the same time do we consider OTP and Erlang integration to be core to the elixir language… not sure! I sure do but others may have different opinions

Joe Armstrong liked to use the term “Concurrency Oriented Programming”, there’s even a publication wrote by him
