Lfe

LFE (Lisp Flavored Erlang) is a functional programming language that combines the syntax and features of Lisp with the concurrency and fault-tolerance capabilities of Erlang. It allows developers to write concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant applications using Lisp syntax while leveraging the powerful Erlang runtime system.

About Lfe

LFE (Lisp Flavored Erlang) was created in 2007 by Robert Virding, one of the co-creators of Erlang. It was developed to bring the expressive power of Lisp syntax to the robust, concurrent, and fault-tolerant environment provided by the Erlang runtime system. The goal was to offer a more flexible and powerful way to write Erlang applications using Lisp's familiar syntax and features.

Strengths of LFE include its powerful concurrency model inherited from Erlang, fault-tolerance, and the expressive syntax of Lisp. Weaknesses include a smaller community, limited libraries compared to mainstream languages, and a steeper learning curve for those unfamiliar with both Lisp and Erlang. Competitors include Elixir (another language on the Erlang VM), Common Lisp, Clojure, and other functional programming languages like Haskell.
