I was working with erlang for around 2 years at Ericsson where of course it's used right.. I really miss it to be honest but advocating for it at my later jobs was just a nightmare !

That’s pretty much the destination I’ve arrived at though in my case via the Elixir route.

You can largely say similar things with go.

I don't think either Erlang or Go are silver bullets. You can't solve _all_ problems efficiently with either. Go may be useful in many many situations, as may be Erlang in some, but if all it take is one significant counter example to detract from something being a "silver bullet", then here's one: https://discord.com/blog/why-discord-is-switching-from-go-to...

Of course... Nothing is perfect at everything.
