@FrancescoC@heinz_gies@ErlangInfo Also, "fast enough" performance wont cut it for us on the server side (Erlang x3-x10 slower)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@TauPowered@heinz_gies@ErlangInfo Slower to do what? How does it scale on multicore? And who wrote Erlang code?3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@FrancescoC Slower processing data. Also, any concurrent coding req careful planning, in Erlang or not. Humans wrote the code :)2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@TauPowered Regarding code, we've achieved 400% speedup through simple changes (one liners).1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@FrancescoC General statistical code is slow in Erlang, also strings, making C++ plugs is not worth it, opting for C# made a better solution2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
