Yeah, I don't think anyone disagrees with you. It's just that this point was rather hidden beneath a misleading title and content!

- lightcatcher 15y agoI don't think the title is misleading at all. "How and Why We Switched from Erlang to Python". How - by writing a WSGI app that uses gevent and simplejson Why - because the Erlang code was old, no one knew Erlang well enough to maintain, and Python is the language used everywhere else at Mixpanel The title wasn't "OMG PYTHON RULEZ ERLANG SUCKZ!!". The only real ambiguity in the title was that Mixpanel (as a whole codebase) didn't switch from Erlang to Python, just a small module switched. What did you expect with this title? More language criticism?
- gms 15y agoOn second reading, you're right. I'm now trying to decide if I should delete by original comment.
