so for a while i’ve been trying to do a small something, anything in erlang.  got myself pragmatic programming in erlang, setup yaws on my ubuntu machine and downloaded an erlang web framework called erlyweb that seemed to glow with potential.

so, its been about 2 weeks, my fascination with erlang was as short lived as a teenage holiday romance.  the concurrent language which would probably topple all others if the overheads weren’t so much.  erlang has a huge learning curve, don’t think just cause you dabble in a bit of ruby you will pick up this language in one go

i’m sure it will take a few years of dedication to get the best of this beast.  as for the yaws server i couldn’t find much fault.  and according to tests this is a solid winner.  erlyweb was a bit of a hickup.  from version incompatibilities to the dreaded ‘//’ in the url (i think i might have gotten the sour deal of the experience).

so for now my quest to conquer erlang seem a bit like an empty dream, but my quest continues….with nitrogen…some day
