But then you need to either replace your existing team with erlang developers, or retrain them ( and then have to suffer years of criticism and staff losses from those who disagree with the move. )
Probably easier, and potentially more appealing to current managers to recruit more sysadmins / tech ops and have a larger organisational pyramid under them. ( I say this as an erlang developer who works in a primarily java oriented organisation.. Perspectives may vary ;) )
- andy_ppp 8y agoI don't actually know Erlang but Elixir has all of the same properties and is simple to learn in my opinion.
- pivo 8y agoErlang is also simple to learn! Simpler, I think, than Elixir just because Erlang is a simpler language. It’s the concepts that Erlang and Elixir share that take the most effort to lean.
- etxm 8y agoAgree! The Erlang syntax only takes a day or two to learn. It’s succinct! You won’t be an OTP wizard but it doesn’t take much to become fluent with the language itself.
- regulation_d 8y agoI think they’re both pretty simple languages, as far as the basic grammar goes. OTP is a whole other thing. But it strikes me that if you have one person on a team who knows OTP well, that person can assist the others when OTP issues come up.
