what the fuck...

Roations per minute

@jonas-w no it looks like erlang is still being developed.

anyway i think i know what they mean by R now, and nope nope nope.

@AvatarOfKaine Of course it is. Ericsson isn't Huawei, but it it is still big in the telecom equipment market - and they still use their language to make their own products as reliable and scalable as possible.

@Oktokolo telecommunications ? as in phones and switches and the like ?

@AvatarOfKaine Not the actual phones. But they use it for controlling the switches and other telecom backbone provider stuff. The "OTP" in "Erlang/OTP" stands for "Open Telecom Platform".

Here is the original Erlang "movie", which looks suspiciously like it is from the 80ies (probably because it is): https://youtube.com/watch/...

@Oktokolo oh that poor 50 year old virgin

@AvatarOfKaine Hey, that is how the IT business looked like back then. Everyone had to look like a fuckin bankster. But Erlang is pretty good and they even FOSSed it.
