ocaml vs erlang

[Joel Reymont]

I used OCaml for a few months to build a distributed production system.

The architecture included Mongrel2, ZeroMQ, Redis and Amazon AWS.

Using OCaml in this scenario is like pushing a boulder uphill, I should have used Erlang!

Hi Joel,

Instead of resorting to the "I could have told you so" reply I would like to hear if you could explain where the pain is - I think that will be an interesting read... as it normally is when you write up a story!

Cheers,
Torben

I could have told myself "I could have told you so" but it was interesting to try OCaml.

I'll write up a blog post, haven't done that in a while.

I'll second that.  It was your documented struggles with Haskell years ago that convinced me to learn Erlang in the first place. (thank you BTW :)
