Not really sure why Erlang wasn't the predictable survivor? That's kinda Erlangs whole claim to fame.
The various error/failure modes are interesting, but not unexpected in retrospect.
I'm still not a fan of the Erlang syntax, it's so hard to read. It's probably just because I've mostly used C inspired language.
- taavi013 1y agoActually Erlang syntax is very nice. You just have to get over first confusion of language functional nature and prolog heritage. It helps tremendously, that in Erlang functions are quite short, self contained due to functional nature. And you can grasp essence of function on one screen without need to have background knowledge of scattered mess of classes/global variables/other spaghetti. Really pleasant for reading code. But definitely not C inspired language.
