Well, the NAT issue is almost solved with STUN [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN ] and TURN [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traversal_Using_Relay_NAT ] (in those cases where STUN is not enough). Together they make ICE [ http://en.wikipedia

This is much better handled in languages with pattern matching. And you can match on arbitrary fields. Erlang: surf(Channels) -> lists:foreach(fun process/1, Channels). process(#channel{genre = "football"} = Channel) ->

This doesn't make much practical sense. However, implementing Erlang on top of the JVM seems like an awesome way to learn Erlang and JVM internals at the same time.

Ah. Didn't get it. Probably because writing erlang.org in PHP actually makes more sense to me than writing it in Erlang (:

Huh? Erlang Web is pure Erlang, it doesn't have a single line of PHP. [ http://www.erlang-web.org/ ]

I'm not saying this never happens. It does, but you'll rarely see this pattern in any real Erlang code base. And when you see it, it will not be "littered". It's an exception, not an idiom. And those samples from Joe's book and thesis a

If your code ends up littered with Var2 = Var1 + 1 type "idioms", then you are probably doing it wrong. I hardly ever write code like that (or see other's Erlang code like that). It's by no means an idiom.

You can use sphinx xmlpipe or xmlpipe2 datasource [ http://www.sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#xmlpipe2 ] and get rid of the middle-man (MySQL).

Not exactly. Cappuchino tries to do it on the client side, while classical ASP.NET does it on the server side. The former has its uses, the latter is a terrible idea.

1. Good is not perfect. Good code can still be improved, though, it doesn't have to be crap for that.

Sure, and that reason is that it was used in the canonical screencast. Nowadays vim (or MacVim) seems to be the preferred editor, at least among the top rails blogging crowd. It's hard to beat tpope's rails.vim ( http://rails.vim.tpope.net/

Just upgraded and everything is smooth so far. The only exception being VMware Workstation 6.5 - you need to upgrade to VMware Workstation 7.0 or it won't work.

It is good, especially with rails.vim and NERDtree installed. fuzzy_file_finder is super useful as well, can't recommend it enough.

Having worked on several Rails projects and now working on a large erlang application, I'm not sure that bringing Rails idioms to erlang is a good or desirable thing. I also find it somewhat funny that it includes an ActiveRecord port - an

Nope, as of now each process has a separate copy, even when they are both on the same node. "The exception is large binary objects, which are handled specially by placing them outside the normal data areas and using reference counting to ke

The translation is a bit off - the original text is correct. But these are not Medvedev's actual words anyway.
