I guess that's what I'm trying to say for this project. My opinion would be to stick with what we know. :)
Do we have enough Erlang knowledge right now? I would not want to see Eric get burned out because he can't get help. I've seen it happen before when Erlang was chosen and the project ended up a complete failure. I'd like to learn Erlang better. But, I wouldn't to be able to help significantly any time soon... or at least not where I could contribute the quality of code that this project needs. It feels like I've seen a lot of similar replies. - Chris On Feb 21, 2011, at 9:27 AM, Jay Pipes wrote: > For the record, I said I'd prefer C++ because that's what I know, but > I wouldn't *mind* learning Erlang ;) > > -jay > > On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 8:34 AM, Chris Behrens > <chris.behr...@rackspace.com> wrote: >> I am very concerned about seeing a lot of "I'd love to learn Erlang" on >> something we probably don't want to screw up.
