I'm using Erlang and GPU programming each for its area of expertise. FWIW I even use both together via https://github.com/tonyrog/cl https://github.com/tonyrog/cl
Erlang is great at asynchronous concurrency which happens to be able to run in parallel well because of how the VM is built.
GPU's solve totally different problems
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoYes, erlang is great for concurrency, GPUs are great for significant scalable parallelism. They both solve different problems, I agree, and that's my point.
