<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I guess you need to decide for yourself
whether you want to be a technology lemming, and simply chasing
what technology is fashionable (the concern of "oh what would
people say if they knew what OTP stands for"), or instead pursuing
the right technology choice for the circumstances. Architects are
suppose to be able to make critical decisions about technology,
and that is what I assume you are paid to do.<br>

<div dir="ltr">So it seems the general sort of feeling is: "We
don't really care about adoption or how things are presented to
the development community as well. We call it Open Telecom
Platform and if that means you can't sell a project to
management in Erlang then we don't care. Adoption is not a
priority of this community or Ericson in specific and thats
that."

<div>Sort of makes me wonder what I am doing here and what I
have spent the last 2 weeks of my free time doing. I could
write my project in Lisp an achieve the same result and I
already know Lisp fairly well. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Honestly this whole thread is making me think back to the
first thread I posted in this community and making me wonder
if it would not be better to go down the road of Scala
instead. Even though that community is not what Id call
friendly, I can staff a Scala project with talented Java /
Ruby / Node.js / Clojure people. With the general sense in the
Erlang community I could hardly blame the developer that said
"I'm not interested in your project because Erlang is useless
to my resume." </div>

</div>
<div>Hmm definitely food for thought. </div>

I hope you don't seriously believe "Open Technology
Platform" is any better.<br>
<br>
Instead of a few people mistakenly thinking OTP is a Telecom
thing, you'll end up with everyone not understanding what
the f OTP is.<br>
<br>
It's easy to tie what Telecoms do to what general IT does,
it's all essentially the same thing, except it actually
needs to work in Telecoms. But technology? That could mean
anything from the wheel to creating life from scratch in a
lab to intergallactic space travel.
