Last point isn't true. I've been working full time with Elixir for 3 years and I can't write any Erlang. I can read it, just because it's not that complex syntactically.
But I should learn Erlang eventually.
- lostcolony 5y agoI'll say the high learning curve statement isn't really true for Erlang either. I was up and running with Erlang as a mid level dev back in 2013 or so within 2 weeks. Worked through LYSE, and basically grokked everything I needed to, genservers and OTP included. Only thing tricky after that was building a release (since at the time the best tooling was rebar; Elixir's mix makes this really simple).
- dnautics 5y agosame, I can read erlang extremely effectively. Even better than some erlang devs. I can also patch erlang libraries (I fixed my friend's http library to be able to do streaming http 1.1). I can't write it, though.
