no, it's not a question about dev time, because a useless software is a useless software, even if developed in 10 secs. I also don't care about official or not official view server, hence I'm using the very stable python view server by default. Additionally I've got a degree in computer science, so writing a simple string parsing function in a language I haven't used before should be not that large problem. A problem is to learn erlang, I would like avoid that, because I think it's not very good at string processing. So this is only a question about resource usage / performance.
