I'm not sure I'd say "New Delicious was rewritten in Erlang" is an accurate title here. More like "certain subsystems of Delicious were rewritten in Erlang."

I'm not sure I'd say "New Delicious was rewritten in Erlang" is an accurate title here. More like "certain subsystems of Delicious were rewritten in Erlang." As far as I know no one (or at least hardly anyone) is actually writing web-applications themselves in Erlang, they're picking off the subsystems that fit the language's sweet spot.
- joshu 18y agoSo far as I know, no part of the operational system itself is in Erlang.
- justinsheehy 18y agoI suppose we are hardly anyone, but we are writing multiple Web applications in Erlang right now, and slowly giving away the tools we build as well. http://blog.therestfulway.com/2008/09/webmachine-is-resource-server-for-web.html http://blog.therestfulway.com/2008/09/webmachine-is-resource...
