    Sounds difficult?

    ... we're talking about installing a frigging program. If you can't double click the damn thing and call it a day then yes, definitely too difficult.

    I recently came across this. Which sums up Erlang pretty well IMO.

  3. Re:Scala by Samantha+Wright · · Score: 1 · on Programming Languages You'll Need Next Year (and Beyond)

    Scala lacks the webby web-web street cred that this list is laden with. Haskell is mentioned briefly in the article, but not considered worthy of Knowing. Meanwhile, Erlang is popular in certain buzzword compliance requirements considered key to trends in web development as of a year or two ago.

    Oracle XE is a loss leader, not a product. You know thats when you get a taste for free, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg the first time you get some undecipherable ORA-XXXX error. You get a version of Oracle Database limited in a number of ways, XE may legally:
    • execute a single instance on a single 32-bit CPU
    • allocate a maximum of 1 Gb of RAM
    • store a maximum of 4 Gb of data

    XE is a free for development use, not production use, version of Oracle Database. It can be used by developers, and educators or students for educational/training purposes. Its also licensed for use by Independent Software Vendors whose product fits within these restrictions and this small footprint.
