- mononcqc 15y agoThe limit between Erlang and OTP is really thin. For example, the code server, the bit of running processes in charge of loading new modules in the VM, is a gen_server, an OTP component. Same with the standard library, kernel and whatnot, which are all OTP applications, loaded with the OTP framework. If you dig deep enough, the dependency becomes rather circular.
