It's attitudes like this that make HN comments so dismal. Ugh.

This is an interesting tool, developed by a group of people doing interesting things, and it's been shared with the world for others to use and/or improve on.

While I'm personally not an Erlang developer, I'm grateful for others who create interesting solutions to their scaling problems. Plus, we utilize Erlang extensively at Whoosh Traffic -- anything that can inspire our developers is always welcome.

I'm sorry, but when the title says 'Performance oriented' anything I expect to see more than 'Hello world' as the benchmark.

1) If you aren't going to be sincere, don't apologize.

2) If your expectations aren't being met, ask for what is missing. Don't come out as an antagonist belittling the author.

Thatnk you for your consideration.
