I’m in a group at work reading Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce A. Tate and we are having a presentation on one language each week. I’m partially responsible for Erlang in 2 weeks and am looking for a good demo app that would show off the strengths of Erlang. I plan to go through the programming exercises in the book, but am looking for that little, interesting app for the demo. I will need to be able to write it in just a few hours once I become more familiar with the language. Any suggestions are welcome.

I ended up writing an answer to Project Euler’s problem 22 in order to show some of the list functions, then I came up with a concurrency app on my own which was pretty well received. Thanks Adam and Mazen for the thoughts.
