erlang, icmp
November 28th, 2007 by Andrey
Funny thing about Erlang is that assuming that language has been designed and implemented with networking programming in mind. Well, it is distributed programming language, so I was expecting some kind of low level networking primitives support, but I was wrong. ICMP, where is it? Raw sockets, nope. Sure, it could be extended via external C routines, but isn’t it an overkill? Disappointed, however this could not stop me from trying to use Erlang in my more or less ambitious attempts to build something usable.
