usually hacking with Ruby/Python/PHP etc
Erlang is designed to create solid production systems. If someone is obsessed with quick hacks and fad-of-the-week programming, they will feel uncomfortable in a real development environment.
- troutwine 13y agoThis seems... harsh to me. Yeah, so Erlang's syntax is prolog inspired and can seem a little peculiar if you're using Algol inspired languages a lot. I _vaguely_ recall a feeling unfamiliar in Erlang land because of syntax but now, six years in, I hardly care about the syntax of _any_ language. It's just the thing you get used to, like speaking in foreign languages. It's just the water in which you swim.
- gcb0 13y agoi don't know from your high horse, but from down here, erlang satisfies my needs for badly written hacks just fine. more so that all implementations have a in memory DB so i don't even have to bother with that as i would have with php... so yeah, installing yaws and writting <h1>hello world</h1><erl>...</erl> is as PHPish as it gets for quick web prototypes.
- gcb0 13y agothe above said, the easy of use of yaws is what makes me reticent to even start to play with elixir. i'd be very pissed it i like it but had to go back to plain erl for web prototypes.
