Trying to select a language for easy concurrent coding for a server app, Erlang sounds good but has lots of drawbacks
@TauPowered @heinz_gies @ErlangInfo Slower to do what? How does it scale on multicore? And who wrote Erlang code?

@FrancescoC Slower processing data. Also, any concurrent coding req careful planning, in Erlang or not. Humans wrote the code :) -
@TauPowered Regarding code, we've achieved 400% speedup through simple changes (one liners). -
@FrancescoC General statistical code is slow in Erlang, also strings, making C++ plugs is not worth it, opting for C# made a better solution -
@TauPowered Absolutely. No argument there. I would almost opt for F# in those cases.

@FrancescoC@taupowered@erlanginfo +1 to that, slow is an implementation / algorithm problem in 90% of the cases. - End of conversation

@FrancescoC Frankly, Erlang is good in limited scope, but not in big projects, BigPoint and CouchBase did regret the choice as well... -
@TauPowered Needs to be discussed over beer. Not over 140 chars. You in SF? -
@FrancescoC Unfortunately, I'm on the other coast...
