Your recollection is valuable, and thank you - but contra a large chunk of the rest of this thread, the article was very clear to me that it was "our erlang was crap erlang and we didn't know how to make it not crap so we switched" which is totally reasonable and didn't seem like a negative towards erlang at all. I've supported rewrites from a language I liked more to a language I liked less for similar reasons, and what Ankur did seems like an entirely sane decision.

But even if I didn't need the clarification, the additional data was awesome, so my thank you remain sincere :)
