I don't have much understanding of programming language internals but why we don't thing see low level stuff like distributed file system written in Erlang.
I genuinely interested in knowing why this is not tried by someone?
- TylerE 12y agoEvery phone call you've made in the last 10 years+ probably touched an erlang node at some point. That's pretty distributed. If your're looking for more traditional server stuff, there's RabbitMQ.
- KirinDave 12y agoActually quite a few systems have been! Besdies telco stuff, Facebook used it quite a bit and I'm told it was in LinkedIn's stack as well. I get a lot of recruiting interest from my time at Powerset as an erlang engineer, from the most surprising places. Game companies come up a lot.
