[DISCUSSION] Make Erlang 23 the minimum supported distribution
Hello everyone,
I'd like to propose making Erlang 23 the minimum supported Erlang
distribution. We have accumulated a lot of ifdefs and other cruft
supporting various APIs and syntactic constructs since Erlang 20. With
Erlang 25 just released it could be a good time to do some cleanup.
We could remove ifdefs for crypto, time functions, the non-syntactic
get_stacktrace() macro, as well as have access to nifty new
functionality like persistent terms, atomic counters and a few other
things.
If we want to switch to rebar3, that would also be easier with Erlang
23 being the minimum.
What do we think?
Thanks,
-Nick

It would be great to move to 23. It has quite a few interesting features, which we could use.
Also as Nick said it would make switching to rebar3 easier.
+1 to the proposal
Best regards,
