- nknighthb 13y agoBuilt by a company with the time, money, and motivation to train new hires on an esoteric language that happens to be specifically designed for their unique application. (Incidentally, my mobile phone calls are quite rare. Voice communication sucks. If your intent was to show that Erlang is important to me, you chose a poor example.)
