Normally you need to know ahead of time what your server is going to be used for and write the code in advance.

But with Erlang, you can have a distributed network of Erlang servers where the server is a generic computing resource that can do anything the client wants.

The code actually comes from the client. No need to get your system administrators to install some binary on all the machines. You simply pass the function along and the remote machine calls it.
