[erlang-questions] Is erlang a web language?

[Yang Zhang]

Thanks all for replying.

Just think erlang's database and distribute feature are so great so it is
the best way I can think to make a distribute crawler and web page
analyzor(what I am doing), then found it doesn't have strong built in web
library like urlencode/htmlentities for me to process url and html. And it
builtin httpclient even ibrowse doesn't support bind IP when initial http
request.

Never mind a function is complex or easy, what in my mind is erlang didn't
have it so it  is incomplete. No one like to write the simple code again and
again. And I'm not sure I could write it right one the first time i wrote
it. Glad see it has another library to compensate the missing ones so
everything is ok now.

Thanks. I will check these links.
