This is just a tongue-in-cheek response that I have no stock in, but I find it funny that the page says "You don't have to reinvent the wheel" after they rewrite Erlang processes in another language.
- tete 4y agoBeing compatible with what's there is exactly the opposite of reinventing the wheel (mechanisms, protocols, etc.).
- prophesi 4y agoThat's true, but it'd be even simpler to implement a node in x language that can communicate with Erlang/OTP, and let Erlang work its fault-tolerant and scalable magic.
- gfodor 4y agoThis is why analogies like the wheel analogy are silly - to stretch it closer to reality, sometimes you are eyeing a wheel in Go and a wheel in Erlang, so you’ve gotta pick which one to port.
