<div>Hi Radek,</div><div><br></div><div>Before answering your question, could you please clarify to the list what is so special in "<span style>LMAX Disruptor</span>"? Why it is impossible to implement it in Erlang? Does it really makes sense to use this technology? I asked those questions because I read about "LMAX Disruptor" while ago, but I didn't find anything special in it. Moreover for me is seems as an obvious thing in a shiny package.</div>
<div><br></div><div>About Java vs Erlang: After many years in Java world (banking, investing, transportation) I started to work with Erlang (including all guys in our company). Now all our software is written in Erlang/C. It handles huge payload, very easy to scale, in case of problems it heals itself automatically. It is very easy to develop and maintain software in Erlang. This is a true dream technology. We are really happy now. I don't see any Java use cases in our company in the future.</div>
<div><br></div><div>p.s. Of course Erlang is not designed for UI.</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>So, thanks again for Ericson company and all those great people that developed Erlang (I hope you read this mail. I am really proud to know you) and all of those people that contribute to Erlang/OTP. Thank you!</div>

<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">Hello Group,<br>
<br>
it's my first post here, although I've been reading many
interesting </font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">posts
</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana"> here for quite
a long time.<br>
Anyway, I posted a question on StackOverflow today with the same
title (<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9239313/the-future-of-erlang-and-beam" target="_blank">here</a>).
As I've written there, I don't want to start any flame-war,
particularly because I'm actually an Erlang fan-boy :) but I'd
like to know your opinion on the subject. Here's the original
question:<br>
<br>
-------<br>
Some time ago I got seriously interested in Erlang (coming from
C++/PHP/Java world) - and I've seen it has been successfuly used
in the industry, by Ericsson, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, etc. So,
I thought it would be a great platform to build high demanding
apps, with low-latency profile, with a lot cleaner and nicer
language than, for example, Java (for me).<br>
<br>
But after "wow effect" has gone, I discovered that there are
many high performance Java libraries that seem to resolve many
problems that Erlang is theoretically best suited for
(real-time, low-latency applications, concurrency,
fault-tolerance, etc.). Moreover, it seems that there are things
that, despite Erlang profile, are just not possible to achieve
on BEAM (like LMAX Disruptor concurrent framework).<br>
<br>
So the question arises: is Erlang still the best platform to
build such demanding applications ? Wouldn't it be better if we
stick to one, very mature (J)VM and try to make it even better
than trying to achieve something similar with less resources
available (size of OTP team vs. JVM team, supporters, etc) ? And
is it possible at all to achieve this kind of performance and
adoption with BEAM ?<br>
<br>
And just to make things clear: I don't want to init a flame war
here. I am just curious becouse I really like Erlang and I think
it's a great platform and I'd like to invest time and effort to
build real-life projects on it. But I'd just like to know what
others might say about that and - if I'wrong - maybe someone
could correct me.<br>
</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">-------<br>
<br>
I hope we can discuss it since I think it would be valuable not
only for me.<br>
<br>
