The article by Björn Gustavsson discusses the major features and improvements introduced in Erlang/OTP 27. These include: a new documentation system with content written in Markdown and proximity to function specs, triple-quoted strings to facilitate multi-line text, sigils for string literals with different interpretations, and the `json` module for efficient JSON handling. Additional updates encompass process labels for better debugging, new utility functions in the sets modules, convenient timer functions that accept funs, and new `ets` functions to streamline data handling. SSL client now supports OCSP stapling, a new profiling tool `tprof` was introduced, multiple trace sessions are now supported to avoid conflicts between different tracing tools, native coverage support has been added to improve performance during code coverage analysis, and the use of archive files is being deprecated. Each improvement aims to enhance development productivity, debugging efficiency, and overall performance of the Erlang/OTP system.
