Hi Ulf,
<br>
<br>
thank you very much for answer.
<br>
<br>
I understand that Erlang has been created in purpose of managing
coordination complexity and it does it's job well.
<br>
But, maybe I'm a bit of devil's advocate, let's say that we (by
which I mean mostly OTP team because of their knowledge of Erlang
intrinsics but others too) could follow similar direction that
Clojure's creator Rick Hickey took. Which means, to build Erlang
on JVM, using tools that we already have (like earlier mentioned
Java libraries, etc) and optimize it for using with JIT.
<br>
<br>
Of course, it's not obvious that (despite being big effort) it
would bring desired performance (although, it seems it would) but
some advantages for sure, like ubiquity of JVM, wide gremium of
supporters/maintainers, ease of deployment (even single .jar
maybe), access to huge variety of other languages and libraries,
and even some minor things like proper module managament, etc.
<br>
<br>
As I said before, I'm rather novice in Erlang world (still digging
through Erlang and OTP in Action) so all above may be
wrong/incomplete/etc. I had this idea some time ago so I finally
took decision to write about my concerns here.
