   They are applications. That's what an umbrella does, it groups multiple Erlang applications into one project.

   This feels like a bit... too much. If you’re really going for microservices, that means every service will be small and specialized. Do you really need to split it further into so many sub-apps? I feel like the S3 app is going to end up as

   All libraries from Erlang can be used as-is, so the gap is much smaller than you might expect. Phoenix itself is based on an Erlang web server.

   I feel the same. I've been stopped by the police 0 times in 7 years, never been refused service anywhere, younger people (e.g. in my old university club) always call me ~san or ~sempai, etc. There's real issues with things like th

   I think some of the points are really exaggerated. Take this: > That’s not to say that some nasty malice isn’t present because it most definitely is. I lost count of the times when, say, for example, politely pointing out to someone that

   I wonder if the author is running an ancient Erlang? The code looks very old school, with the lack of maps, no rebar, deprecated functions, etc. From Erlang release notes: The pre-defined types array/0, dict/0, digraph/0, gb_

   I work in Japan, actually. I have sick days, never waited more than about 15 min at the hospital (without an appointment!), and the care was excellent. YMMV - I recon sick days are indeed unusual.

    I'm also really puzzled by the omission of Japan. It has the highest life expectancy in the world, I would expect a comparison of health systems in the developed world to include it.

    I'm quite sure that would be a grossly inefficient approach. Sending a message is expensive in Erlang, less so than in other languages, but it's still very large compared to a few math operations. It's a common mistake to use

    Not in the general case, it only removes copying of literal (constants known at compile time).

    Erlang is what you would use to implement a single service (which may run on a cluster of multiple nodes). It's not a generic messaging layer to use between services, you can use RabbitMQ or ZeroMQ or whatever you like for that.

    Distributed Erlang compatibility is guaranteed for not just one, but two major versions. You can do a standard rolling upgrade and the newer nodes will talk to older nodes just fine. http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-q

    I don't think that's the problem for metrics. Exometer is the go-to Erlang library, but its dependencies are a nightmare (e.g. https://github.com/Feuerlabs/exometer/issues/154 or https://

    Very interesting article! One thing I'm curious about is how to ensure a given guild's process only runs on one node at a time, and the ring is consistent between nodes. Do you use an external system like zookeeper? Or do you have

    That was true a few years ago, but not anymore: https://medium.com/@jlouis666/breaking-erlang-maps-1-31952b8... (You would have to use a map though, the native lists are still plain old lists)

    It's strange to see ANI mentioned as if it were a real, working language. AFAIK it was never able to compile even the samples: https://code.google.com/archive/p/anic/issues/7

    I worked at a bank and saw that pattern used in market connection middleware as well. It's really common, but since that stuff is all closed source it's hard to point to a concrete example. (The thing was also optimized to reuse o
