1/3 of hn posts (maybe more) are "look at this thing we built!" or a combo of that with "plus all this VC money!" where op has basically re-invented something that has existed in Erlang since forever. I don't mind all these cool new things (it's why I visit). But personally, I prefer to cut to the chase and just use Erlang (well, in my case - Elixir).
