Actually Erlang syntax is very nice. You just have to get over first confusion of language functional nature and prolog heritage.

It helps tremendously, that in Erlang functions are quite short, self contained due to functional nature. And you can grasp essence of function on one screen without need to have background knowledge of scattered mess of classes/global variables/other spaghetti.

Really pleasant for reading code.

But definitely not C inspired language.

As of today Google with it's BBR + QUIC + Chrome combo and Facebook with their Zero protocol, combined with their extensive data center network can get much better end user experience than any other service provider regardless of any government.

We can talk about network neutrality whatever we want - but these companies have built technological capabilities to have "little bit bigger share".

So, probably after some time it is too late to deal with Google:)

There has been nice study by Motorola exactly on this topic C++ vs. Erlang implementing telecom software. Study slides are online at http://www.slideshare.net/Arbow/comparing-cpp-and-erlang-for...

Interesting result from this study - erlang implementation is not only more robust but also faster.

This is "required reading" for anyone interested in space program development. Not only Soviet space program but overall understanding on space related technological and thinking process evolution over 50 years.

In addition to this insights into Soviet leadership behaviour and thinking.

FreeBSD supports Mandatory Access Control, implemented as part of the TrustedBSD project. It was introduced in FreeBSD 5.0. Since FreeBSD 7.2, MAC support is enabled by default. The framework is extensible; various MAC modules implement policies such as Biba and Multi-Level Security.

It is rumoured that Bernhard Schmidt had so sensitive touch, that he could physically feel polishing results by his (only) left hand.
