Interestingly, many things in Go's design that might seem 'deficiencies' from the point of view of Erlang means most of those problems don't apply to Go at all.
- IsTom 14y agoThat's a good talk, I've encountered these problems in the wild. Erlang isn't a silver bullet obviously and you have to know it well if you want to write something big, but it's really easy to write small to medium applications. Shame their erld isn't FOSS.
