Is this in use at WhatsApp (main dev works there). Asking cause I know WhatsApp was built on Erlang, and was wondering if they still are, or have (partially) moved to Rust.

    At the rewrites happening for performance reasons? Anything you’ve published/will publish about this?

        Neat. How big is the dev team working on this Erlang & Erlang-adjacent stuff?

        Not sure what's public here, so let's just say "big", as in 100's+.

    Wait. This package is in use in production at WhatsApp and the only mention of that is many levels deep in a comment thread on HN? That's seriously burying the lede.
