Reinventing Erlang in Java for investor's money?)
People who don't know CS are doomed to poorly reinvent Lisp or Erlang again and again..))
But why not, if someone pays for it..
And the whole idea of using Java for serving media content, while there is a specialized, well-engineered solution, created especially for this purpose in the telecom world, is such a brilliant management decision.. In Java we trust.)
- jlouis 14y agoWith due respect to the library, there are certain parts of it which is not supported out of the box in Erlang. On the other hand, building tools like what the library has is not going to take a long time.
- davidw 14y agoWhat in particular jumps out at you? I don't know Erlang or this library well enough to pick it out right away, but I think it'd be an interesting thing to look at. Erlang is often cited, but probably not as widely used, so sometimes gets some 'magic properties' associated with it.
- justincormack 14y agoErlang and lisp are not CS. They are engineering.
- dschiptsov 14y ago..which is impossible to do without a CS background.) It is a mutual-recursive process of evaluation (CS) and application (engineering).
- acdha 14y agoWhat does predictable language advocacy flaming serve? Anyone who knows why Erlang or Lisp failed to gain widespread usage isn't going to be swayed by such an enormous assumption. Your time would be much better spent learning why few engineers use your language of choice and making Erlang/Lisp more competitive.
