Its a *lovely* tool - for what it is good at. My first impression was
that it could address a *lot* of challenges - and by no means limited to
telco.
BUT - perhaps as with the 'Plan 9' concept of aggregating all detectable
resources one chooses to invite to the party, Erlang's ability to move
work around between available resources comes from a model that imposes
a price that can't entirely be shed when/where not needed.

Agree that - there have been times I wish it could / had already
replace(d) 'C' <g>
But - speed, universality....

Exactly.
We 'passengers' are wasting too much developer time on what seems to be
an inexhaustible well of irrelevant distractions...
Best I go off and look at a simplified (not complexified) startup
methodology so I don't have to modify or replace /etc/rc all the time.
Stock version has whiskers, and it's conditionals conditionals have
...conditionals....
Plain text, and table-driven, just as fstab is, perhaps with similar
'pass' numbering, and simple major-key, minor-key grouping to handle pre
and post preferences per (userland) daemon. The sequence you set is the
sequence toor uses. Startup and shutdown NOT just the reverse of each
other..
The added layer of rc.subr has always smacked of Win-bloat to me.
And no 'jihad' if no one else likes it.. <g>
Best,
Bill
