Experience shows that it really isn't. The fundamental issues of non-deterministic ordering are inherent in the domain that Erlang was designed for, and the VM characteristics pretty closely reflect that. It turns out…
In practice, one will have to refrain from some of the crazier stuff when working interactively in the shell of a production system. However, it's extremely useful for debugging and minor adjustments by a skilled…
To say that Erlang fails to deliver what most programmers need misses the point. If you have a mainstream problem, use a mainstream language! I've spent many years developing and reviewing products in the telecoms…
Ericsson could have had a need for multicore already back in 1997, when the first SMP Erlang prototype was written, but the space and power budgets for the processor boards made it impossible to get any matching…
