HN comment orderHaving worked with Erlang for few years. I still don't understand the new hype behind it. Ok, the Beam VM have a lot of good ideas. But I think that API of OTP and the language itself do not help to make concise and maintainable code. And you're pretty much on your own about tooling. I really think that even if you can achieve good performance/scalability in theory, in practice your team become less productive.
We are about to release 1.0. The new site is not entirely ready. This is a preview. https://test.zotonic.com.
I used zotonic a few years ago, it feels very "unerlangy" and I think thats a good thing, they have put together a fairly solid product and the site + documentation is top notch, it did feel someone stuck between being a cms for end users and a web framework for developers but that may have come from my preconceptions. Its nice to see some mature + user friendly web components come out for erlang
