It goes way back, 1998 was when they open sourced it, the language was in development and use inside Ericsson since 1986.

Thanks, I'm getting senile! 1986 is 8 years after my first computer.

I have used Erlang's venerability in other Erlang postings, but for some reason I guess the open sourcing date stuck in my head.
