[erlang-questions] Erlang package manager

[Dmytro Lytovchenko]

Its not up to ESL to decide what gets chosen, OTP/E/// and IUG will decide
the final options and budget according to what is discussed here. But ESL
may offer a person to work on this budget and this project.

>From my personal point of view,
- Nix has a chance because its C++ which is potentially cross platform and
compiles everywhere. Also from NIH point of view - huge work was done there
and it would be silly to just throw the idea away because parts of it are
not compatible - this can be fixed;
- pure C or C++ implementation from scratch has a chance because its cross
platform and compiles everywhere (or it should by design);
- pure Erlang implementation although doesn't exist yet only in a form of
non-working bare skeleton prototype, also has a chance
- and then Elixir implementation has slim chance because carrying Elixir
compiler or compiled BEAM's in OTP source may be non-desirable.
