After seeing it referenced a lot on HN, I've also been really interested in learning Erlang.
What projects have you fellow hackers used/are using Erlang for? Are you glad you did?
- brianr 18y agoI wrote a message queue server that uses the memcached protocol (so I could use memcache client libraries to connect to it), similar to Starling/Sparrow. Starling and Sparrow kept falling over from the volume of connections, so I decided to write my own in Erlang. We've been using it in production for about 6 months now, and it works great.
- aaronblohowiak 18y agoAny plans to open source it?
- brianr 18y agoYeah, that's been on my list for months. Maybe I'll get to it this weekend...

- moonpolysoft 18y agoI wrote a clone of Amazon's dynamo. It really helped speed up development vs. trying to do it in a language like Java or C++. http://github.com/cliffmoon/dynomite http://github.com/cliffmoon/dynomite
- RKlophaus 18y agoI just published a screencast demo of a web framework that I made in Erlang, called Nitrogen. See http://nitrogen-erlang.tumblr.com http://nitrogen-erlang.tumblr.com Also, the technology behind my startup company, Stitcho.com is in Erlang. See http://www.stitcho.com http://www.stitcho.com I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are one of those people who really stretches a language. Once you get past the new syntax, it is very quick to learn.
