Would erlang be a good thing for everyday programmers to have some
familiarity with?
I think so. I think a good programmer should learn a new language every
year or two to keep the brain active. I am still mostly python but the
more I think about Erlang the more I like it. Haskell is right up there
also but Erlang has already put a lot more thought into concurrency and
has a much better proven track record.
Does anyone think this study course might be worth trying to cover in
LPSG? Maybe in a communal seminar fashion, if there is enough interest
and commitment.
I would definitely show up to an LPSG meeting about Erlang.
I have been reading lately about how to get Erlang to talk to external
libraries such as for processing SIP and RTP. Asterisk and Freeswitch
are both written in C which bugs me. Too slow in terms of developer time
and more importantly too unreliable for a pbx. But Erlang was designed
specifically for PBX's and switches and all of those cool things. So I
think it would be a good fit. I am also interested in Mnesia, the
distributed database that comes with Erlang.
