You should see Joe's rants on Erlang too. Not as bad as MRI but there are plenty of things to gripe about in beam.

How does this deserve a down vote? Erlangs beam VM is pretty amazing but it's not without some pretty weird artifacts in the source, many of which I've discovered via Joe's twitter ranting.

(EDIT: I guess people don't like unpopular views at all, that's fine, long live jokes, forget the facts.)

I'd rather see a technical analysis of Erlang that didn't read like it was written by Kanye West and sponsored by Axe Body Spray.
This would be funny if it made any sense and if it wasn't a ripoff of an old Merlin Mann tweet about DHH.
Perhaps you should write that, then.
"Yo Ruby, I'm really happy for you, but Erlang has one of the best VMs of all time."
That's a pretty cool story you got there.
