NEW LIST for learning Erlang and CouchDB
Hey peeps,
Want to contribute, but don't know where to start, or don't know Erlang?
I'm pleased to announce that we have a new list for learning Erlang and
CouchDB.
The idea here is to provide a friendly, like-minded environment for people
who are interested in hacking on Couch to learn some Erlang.
Ask questions, get feedback, learn the codebase, and generally chitchat
with other CouchDB folk who are also learning Erlang. (As well as our core
hackers who will be around to help you if you get stuck or need guidance!)
Subscribe by sending an email to:
erlang-subscribe@couchdb.apache.org
(The mail archives will be up in a few hours.)
Thanks!

I've honestly come to really respect the overall simplicity of the language
and the generally good quality official doc's Erlang has. Especially some
of the user guides that accompany the module reference docs.
I'll admit it took me awhile to get over things in the language and the OTP
patterns, but it was all just so new from my normal C# or Python.

It's a great language and better supported that you might imagine. Here is a good start: http://learnyousomeerlang.com/

Quite the contrary. Lots of learning resources and a great community.
Perhaps hard to grasp, in that functional programming and massive
concurrency are non-traditional ways of approaching things.

Goog Cheng, that's why we set the list up! To help people who want to learn
Erlang in the context of CouchDB. We wanted to pull some of the existing
Erlang community into ours, and create a space that fosters shared learning
and collaboration! You should subscribe and get stuck in!

I'm pretty certain that this list or the new list is not about discussing
advantages or disadvantages of language X and Y. Especially not if the
question is so open-ended.
