- cloudhead 15y agoI'd be interested to know in what ways the author thinks Go is superior to erlang.
- zaphar 15y agoI'm gonna guess it's syntax and strings for starters. Erlang makes dealing with strings painful in a lot of ways and while the syntax grew on me to the point where I actually like it now I think most people find it to be painful. Hrrrmmm as a coder who loves both perl and erlang maybe I'm just permanently warped when it comes to syntax :-)
- cloudhead 15y agoThe author replied, mentioning speed, native executables, syntax and simplicity. I think he has a point, the only thing I'd disagree with is the syntax.. I don't think it's a major problem, considering you get a functional language with powerful pattern-matching.
