"You wouldn't perchance know what the 'Er' in 'Erlang' is short for, would you?"
- arthurcolle 4y agoOooooh!! I know this one! Ericsson! Do I get a prize?
- Yoric 4y agoI personally don't mind academic. However, part of my response was that Ericsson had been using it industrially since the 90s, and that in fact Erlang was actually less academic than Python or Go. The recruiter handwaved this as "well, it's an academic language".
