Why bet365 (with 22m customers) use Elixir and Erlang

That blog posts sounds like they were paid to write it. It provides zero value and sounds like a paper I would write just to get a passing grade in school. To be clear I don’t have any hate towards go. I really just don’t understand blog posts like that. They provide nothing of value. It’s actually pretty frustrating to read because I enjoy when large companies write about how they solve big problems. I hate reading fluff where there genreral theme is “Hey look at us we are using {insert language}. We cool” You could pretty much find and replace “golang” in this post with any other technology (serverless, elixir, node, etc) and the article would read the same.

Wow, you weren’t kidding, that article is the worst one of theirs I’ve read yet, they are usually pretty decent, what happened… o.O
