Erlang's New Map datatype coming in R17
- chops 13y agoThe Relevant EEP can be found here: https://github.com/psyeugenic/eep/blob/egil/maps/eeps/eep-0043.md https://github.com/psyeugenic/eep/blob/egil/maps/eeps/eep-00... The discussion related to the "Maps vs Frames" proposal is fascinating and enlightening, for those with the time to read the (currently 70 posts-long) discussion. Maps are being presented as a generalized datatype that can serve as a replacement for many of Erlang's container types (Records, Dicts, Prop lists). Personally, I'm very excited to play around with them with the R17 release.
