I'll look at Erlang. I'm trying to wedge self-teaching Python into this semester.
For start:
http://www.maht0x0r.net/library/computing/erlang.pdf
http://www.erlang.org/erldoc
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Erlang
http://ruslanspivak.com/2007/09/09/erlang-for-python-program...
and you need emacs24+ for good ide and programming with erlang or just use interactive shell erl for initial start.
