I'm not quite sure to what you are referring to by "string
operations". I've been working with erlang/yaws/etc. for several
months now and I haven't found it to be a problem and 99% of the time
I've been able to get everything done without even touching the regex
modules. It's different, that's for sure, but I don't think erlang as
a whole is missing anything. At least, not for what I've been working
on.
As far as RDBMS support, I've been using mnesia almost exclusively so
I'm not able to comment on it's usefulness, but I feel compelled to
add that I think erlydb is one hell of a good start in this area.
Personally, I'm more thankful of what it does do than I lament what it
doesn't.
