Irony is how come the "Related Book" appears in the Article Information box is "Python"?<br><br>

</a>)<br><br># Erlang is far from perfect. The biggest limitation I've encountered is that<br># there's no neat way of doing a remote function call. While asynchronous<br># programming is easier to scale, you sometimes need to send a message and wait
<br># for the result before you can proceed. Ideally, you would save the state related<br># to the current message and proceed with processing the next one, but at the very<br># least you should be able to wait for a specific message and then grab it from
<br># the message queue while still processing another message.<br><br>Maybe the RPC module, and selective receive, are not well-enough signposted in<br>the docs and tutorials.<br><br>Anyway, I have posted a comment to the article to address this.
