I agree that Erlang has some benefits in the early stage of development or with smaller projects, but beyond that you anyway will need devops and this argument no longer holds. One example I have is whatsapp being started in Erlang by a few

You can make NIF, you can implement Erlang protocol to talk to the node (and I have done it). Both of those are possible but does it worth it in the end? Is it worth to have orchestration builtin into the language and locked with some parti

Well you confirming what I said - you have to build it, it's not that Erlang programs automatically never fail and always handle problem correctly as required.

It is yes. When you just starting a project Erlang's approach might be favorable but once the whole infrastructure is there the difference is negligible.

In Erlang the fault-tolerant behavior is not builtin either, only tools to make it. You still have to make the right supervision tree, dependencies between processes, links, making sure you handle the process termination messages correctly

Right, I was mainly describing arguments for parallel processing which Erlang is also famous for. In terms of being fault-tolerant I think the modern approach with (micro)services is quite similar, one can have multiple services running and

I'm talking about development, deployment should be automated anyways. As a developer I think it's easier to think in terms of how to send data to hadoop, sqs queue etc for processing and read results later than keep in mind the s

As someone who worked with Erlang for a few of years I still wonder if using parallel processing in program top level is worth it or not. Because there are many ways to process data efficiently using queues, pipelines, etc and being clear o

How people see is just a reflection of their minds. If one sees world as awful - that only tells about that person mind. It has nothing to do with the world. And talking about seeing truth is just inflated ego, nothing more. Some of the wis

I don't have to define or measure it. And this does not make it meaningless either. In fact most profound things in life can not be measured. Can you measure how much parents love their child? Can you measure how happy someone is to ge

It looks like it. I am not related to any brain studies so naturally I can not go deep into the topic. The main thing I wonder about here is does this redundancy mechanism come for free or does it come at the cost of some other (possibly un

Are you sure that right things and morals have anything to do with Buddhism or meditation? For "serious meditators" - seriousness is one of the first things one drops when practices start working.

For me this shows kinda narrow thinking. Terminals have been around forever and adding more colors or gpu accelerations is not doing anything for it. What we need is more innovative ideas how to get rid of terminals, not how to accelerate t

Please don't put yoga and crystals into the same category. While what most people in the west are doing has little to do with the actual thing it's still probably the most important discovery made by humanity.
