[erlang-questions] Paul Graham uses Erlang to solve scaling problems!!!

[Robert Virding]

Well, everyone didn't seem overjoyed at the deluge of Erlang postings. :-)
But I do think we, the Erlang community, should be better at posting Erlang
stuff on the Y-combinator. After all it *is* actually relevant for them,
even if some don't realise it. The same holds for dzone and Reddit
programming.
