Erlang Just Works(tm) for me, I have a problem and I write code to solve it, no whiz-bang new features or frameworks needed. That said I do partially agree, in particular advancing the state-of-the art in regards to inspecting and debugging would be great. Rebar3 is indeed excellent!
- im_down_w_otp 10y agoI totally agree. It just works for me too. That's why I prefer it. But it needs new users and new use cases to stay relevant and to be defensible as an investment of time, money, and people in companies and enterprises that are willing to depart from the traditional strongholds of Java or whatever the latest thing out of Google is unfortunately. To say nothing of the more risk averse institutions, which are vast and numerous. Given how great it is I'm often at a loss for why it's ecosystem feels stagnant and much of its evangelism (what little there is to begin with) appears unable to build much excitement. :-( Anyway, back to Erlanging and hoping more people discover how pleasant, simple, and robust it can be.
