Had another boring day at work today so I poked around the intertubes. Looking for something new to do. I'm thinking about picking up erlang. Don't really have a use for it quite yet. Yes, that erlang. Does anyone actually use it? It seems nice: small feature set, well-defined, documented.
I've been playing with ruby the last couple of months and just got really frustrated with how patchy documentation is. If it exists, its most likely in japanese. So I got tired of spending my time looking for how to do things instead of actually doing them. Also, if you try to do something that ruby doesn't explicitly do, you're in for an exciting time. I can't really explain it any better.
Another cool thing about erlang; its used by like 20 people. If you're into that sort of thing.
Syntax looks alright; I'm not crazy about the require EOL characters but it could do worse.
