I found that too; I wonder if the programming community would be better off if more people were pushed towards Erlang? Similar to how every programmer should know C, so that when they write python they have some idea what's happening under the hood, it would be good for every programmer to know Erlang/OTP so they learn how large-scale reliable systems should work?
- rdtsc 13y agoI agree. It is just useful to have the ideas and paradigms used in one's toolbox. Concurrent isolated units working together by sending messages. That is interesting and can be implemented in other systems. Like say using a message broker like RabbitMQ or 0mq and isolated processes. Or the idea of supervision. Have a supervisors OS process watch and restart its workers and so on. Those can be implemented and applied without even touching Erlang itself.
