I'm not an evangelist, so no. I don't particularly care what you think about what I've experienced firsthand.
Erlang is a language that doesn't have strings, for fucks sake. I'm sure something simple like parsing json is way easier and more convenient when dealing with lists of chars /s
Honestly! BEAM is cool. I'll concede that point any day of the week. But a person who says erlang is suitable for modern web development is not living in the real world.
An axe can be sharpened enough to shave with, but should an axe really be that close to your face?
Edit: I did find an erlang lib called jiffy that has NIFs for pasting json. That's probably the least obnoxious solution to that particular issue, but my point stands that modern web demands a different model of problem solving than let-it-crash 90s telecom hackery provides
