Whereas something like Go where extra import are hard errors, making best-practices mandatory keeps code to certain standard and it's zero work to setup.
- rdtsc 12y agoYap, makes sense, I see your point. Haven't heard of mandatory dialyzer type coverage yet. It would be kind of commit hook of sort, still external to the compiler though...
- midas007 12y agoUgh. What's most needed is a erlang-platform like haskell-platform.... bring together vital tools (proper/dialyer/etc), have a great package index (like hackage/pypi/rubygems) + package manager and have a skeleton project generator (rails-ish) that sets up what was asked for. Convention > configuration The easier it is to get going and contribute, the more people will use it. (Haskell pushed hard on this later on and has really benefited. Node did it early.)
