Does the sale mean F# is having its WhatsApp (Erlang) moment, in other words major industry validation?

  well, I didn't know whatsapp uses erlang until now and I think it didn't really help make erlang more popular for me I believe it was couchdb that brought erlang to light .. but now it seems erlang isn't really getting any more popular but yea, of course being used by whatsapp is very strong validation for erlang

    Erlang has been and is in use in many less visible places, same as other frameworks, but WhatsApp provided visibility in the contemporary world of short-lived startups.
