rust is a sorta half funny joke not meant to be taken seriously except by pseudo-intellegent cucks
yes i know it's a joke

Who wants green threads? Async I/O is soo much better (it's not)

such blazing fast performance

That's not what erlang excels at. It's fantastic when you distribute stuff, because the virtual machine has a built-in mechanism for distribution. You can essentially spawn up 1000 machines, link them together, and treat them as a single VM.
Also, if you want to increase performance, use erjang VM which is erlang VM implemented on the JVM, which gives you huge performance bump in the "performance test" situations, because of the JVM's great optimization mechanisms.

Whatsapp was written in Erlang and they managed the whole thing with only 50 people

Fucking English

You misspelled Chinese.
Grayson Parker
Oh god you can't change the values of variables and you have to write loops recursively.
Other than that it's pretty cool actually. Would use if it were as popular/widely used at least as C.

erlang+rust is better than both of them :^)

see above
you need to try harder pajeet

whatsapp successfully using elixir for handling over one billion users is a much better benchmark than this one
Parker Mitchell
>whatsapp successfully using elixir
not elixir. erlang.

>fucking your language harder than bill cosby on a friday night to be fast without actually having to have a fast compiler.
literally disregarded trash
Brody Ross
this is true, and everything in that article is true
yeah that one is actually better

Most languages with static types. Dynamic typing is for brainlets and always has been.
Aiden Morgan
50 people seems like a lot for the early versions of whatsapp. It was an incredibly simple app.
Jordan Brooks
I watched a talk on this, and what's interesting about their setup is how quickly they put together the backend for their app, and how well it scaled. They put like 10% of the time into scaling their backend that other companies would have, and still process their messages on a fundamentally similar system. Erlang is built for problems like theirs.
Apparently, Facebook used erlang when they started Facebook Messenger, but moved away from it (to C++) only when they realized no engineers they had knew the language well enough.
Aaron Garcia
Excellent taste.
Brandon Hernandez
anything that has strings at least
Samuel Perez
We should believe you. You know the real story

I am trying out RabbitMQ right now, had to install Erlang runtime(?) for it. Guess it is good for some stuff.
Hudson Carter
Thanks user.
Elixir is great. The syntax, functional nature, hell, even the name makes me think I'm pic related!
Crystal has great potential as well.
Colton Phillips
Erlang was created by Ericsson to solve communication problems.
Chase Lopez
I don't think so
