Hey, During JavaZone last year I spoke with Kresten about Erjang, and he claimed that despite the native code that many Erlang projects use, he was still seeing success using it (the details escape me now) and even did a live benchmark of it outperforming the BeamVM. Crazy stuff indeed.
But either-way, my note was more about "isn't this interesting future possibility" rather than "it would be better than native"... obviously having windows binaries would be awesome and I would actually really like to see that happen :-) Cheers, Tim On 7 Jan 2011, at 16:12, Kyle Quest wrote: > Erjang is a nice and fun toy, but it's too much of a hack to be useful > for Riak.
