Erlang community is really bad.
I went to a couple of meetups at OpenX. It's majority older programmers.
The topic of the day was how to attract new programmers to Erlang.
I've stated perhaps we need to emulate Ruby and have some killer framework such as Rails. Their community is very vibrant.
The response was no, stay the course, we don't need to do anything. What's the point of this talk of attracting new programmers to Erlang if the consensus was stay the course and do nothing?
This way back before Elixir was on the radar.
Stopped going to that Erlang meetup, the programmers were out of touch.
I am mighty glad that Elixir and Phoenix is taking off. Shows them that I was right. Either Erlang community change their mindset or stay the same.
