- Subject: Concurrency in Lua / accessing the Erlang website...

The discussions on this list recently about concurrency got me wondering how "threads" are implemented in Erlang. Apparently they are very lightweight, and issues of portability between Windows/Linux/BSD/OSX have been addressed in some kind of efficient manner.
I wonder if the work done for Erlang might have relevance for Lua.
Via Google, I've seen references to a paper that might go into further detail before digging into the code. The document mentioned is
http://www.erlang.se/publications/xjobb/0890hedqvist.pdf.
Unfortunately, it seems my access to www.erlang.org and www.erlang.se is non-existant (and has been for the past 14 hours).
When I have access to the Erlang site, I may have more to offer, but in the meantime, does anyone want to weigh in on this as a possibility in the Lua arena (ErLua)?
