I would like to learn some “best practices” for Erlang?

Question

I am new to Erlang coding and want to know some of the “best practices” in the industry with code examples, if possible.

Answer 1

There are many best practices listed on the Ericsson Erlang Programming Rules and Conventions page. There are many code examples.

Answer 2

Also check out http://www.erlang.org/doc/efficiency_guide/users_guide.html The eight myths in the Erlang performance section are very good and short, read.

By far, the best way to get recommendations on erlang best practices is to familiarize yourself with the source code of several successful projects. I found a mochiweb source to be especially instructive.
