Just don't write a database in Erlang.
- jeremiep 14y agoCouchDB seems to disagree.
- codewright 14y agoMore and more of CouchDB gets converted from Erlang to C++ every year since its creation. The core runtime and data structures are in C++. At this point, Erlang is mostly the negotiator between the nodes. This schism in implementation is partly why I hated CouchDB back in the day. That and the fact that it's a data Roach Motel.

- rdtsc 14y agoLike Riak you mean? Is that pun or valid criticism. I think Riak is a very successful product with features (distribution, simplicity, fault tolerance and scalability) that few (if any) others can match.
