When scanning for references to Erlang I occasionally come across this guy:<br><br><a href="http://rebelscience.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://rebelscience.blogspot
.com/</a><br><br>He is advocating/developing a system called COSA and continually comparing it to Erlang. While I appreciate the references I personally think he is a bit bonkers and just not getting it. Do you think it is worth getting into a discussion with him and try to correct him where he is wrong? Has anyone tried?

If I were you, I'd avoid getting into discussions with him, because he's really just looking for attention. But if you just can't resist, I'd ask him for proof that his ideas have been put to the test in real-world production systems and proven to work as advertised.
