What are the chances they're going to use Java instead of Erlang?
- faceplanted 7y agoAre Erlang engineers hard to find in India? They have a small but solid base in the UK, but the UK also hosts a few tech companies and I think a couple of the inventors and major contributors to the language, so it might just be an outlier.
- arvinsim 7y agoFrom what I remember, Java engineers were everywhere in India.
- rusticpenn 7y agoLet people know that erlang has demand, you will find a lot of Indian erlang engineers.
- arvinsim 7y agoAre these Erlang engineers diving into Elixir?
- macspoofing 7y agoDoes it matter? Routing text is a solved problem and not particularly hard at any scale. The interesting parts for any potential implementation only pertain to things like workflow, integrations to existing applications and services and regulatory requirements (export, backup etc) - from that end, Erlang is not a great option.
