Some initial examples:
After some initial introduction:
http://www.erights.org/elang/intro/index.html

These things might be understandable
(concerning distributed programming, and event-loop concurrency)
http://www.erights.org/elib/index.html

Many things (together with reasons why they are done as they are done) is sequentially described here:
http://www.erights.org/talks/thesis/index.html

Some powerbox examples (in the E programming language as well as in other programming language) is here:
http://altair.sk:60001/mediawiki/upload/f/f9/Powerbox-rants.article.pdf
It is basic technique; not available in Erlang. Available in some (I do not say in every respects
perfect) other languages.

I am sure, at e-lang
http://www.eros-os.org/mailman/listinfo/e-lang
you might get detailed answers for questions.
