- arendtio 7y agoNow this will make the Erlang people happy :D Sometimes I have the impression that functional programmers dislike Go especially for having such an inelegant language design ;-) Personally, I don't have hard feelings for either side: I love Go and like the functional style in general (I know a bit of Scheme). Erlang is one of my top 2 languages I want to learn (together with Rust).
- StreamBright 7y agoTo learn Erlang is not that difficult. I think it is a bit harder to understand how to write production ready sacable OTP code. Btw. you should check out Elixir. It is much easier to get into Elixir nowadays and many aspect (like deployments) are solved while with Erlang you need to do a bit more to get the same results. You can also just toy with Erlang without OTP (not really recommended). :)
