+Erlang (programming language)
+
+Erlang is a general-purpose concurrent programming language and runtime
+system. The sequential subset of Erlang is a functional language, with
+strict evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing. It was designed
+by Ericsson to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-real-time,
+non-stop applications.
+
+The post-install script will add some files to the /usr/lib/erlang
+directory, at it does not seem to be possible to create these files
+when the package is created. Therefore, if you uninstall this package,
+be sure to remove the /usr/lib/erlang/ directory afterward.
