I knew that no matter what languages I picked for my examples, that someone on hn was going to respond that yes, in fact language B is much simpler than language A. I believe you understood the comparison I was trying to make and I'm not interested in a discussion about how simple erlang really is, it's besides the point..
- maaku 12y agoNo I do not understand the comparison. Java's syntax, virtual machine, libraries, everything is orders of magnitude more complex than the erlang stack. And indeed, proper introduction and reference of Java can fill a whole bookshelf, where as a couple of printed technical reports does the same for erlang. Back to the original topic, git is also way more complex than a DVCS needs to be (compare e.g. with monotone, or just about any other DVCS). And any DVCS is way more complex than even the most difficult to use centralized repositories. So I think the OP's point is valid. There is at least corrolation going on here.
