Now think about how many companies/products need the power of Erlang vs PHP where PHP has more tooling, better ecosystem and far more available talent to choose from. Just because Erlang can perform better doesn't mean it is the right tool for the job. Performance is one aspect and PHP is good enough for lot of use cases while it has tons of other advantages that Erlang doesn't.
- pdimitar 5y agoNot performance per se. It's a much more robust model of work that in addition is sipping hardware resources more efficiently (so DoS attacks from one user to all others are hard). "How many companies need X" is not a discussion, it's an exchange of opinions and won't ever go anywhere, so I refuse to start it. I was merely responding to the claim that PHP had "prescient" ideas. It didn't.
