Not mentioned in the link above but something super cool with this release is that<p>&gt; CPU quotas are now taken into account when deciding the default number of online schedulers. &gt; Thus, automatically making Erlang a good citizen in container environments where quotas are applied, such as docker with the --cpus flag.<p>Super happy about this!

I&#x27;m currently learning erlang&#x2F;elixir and I&#x27;m really enjoying the language constructs.<p>I had originally taken a Programming Language Paradigms class in college with racket, and I really didn&#x27;t appreciate functional ideas(i.e. syntax is my excuse). I&#x27;m now a really big fan of functional language idioms.<p>Anyone interested should try the futurelearn class, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.futurelearn.com&#x2F;courses&#x2F;functional-programming-erlang" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.futurelearn.com&#x2F;courses&#x2F;functional-programming-e...</a>.

Couple of times when somebody posted an OTP erlang update I had no clue what I was reading. Then I came back to HN and somebody broke down why some things are really useful&#x2F;changed and it was mind blowing.<p>Can some erlanger explain why you are excited about certain things from the update?

Looking at the changelog I don&#x27;t see what the current situation with erl_interface is. I&#x27;ve been working on some `erl_interface` code using C [2] and Nim [1], and the headers warn that older `erl_interface` headers would be deprecated in OTP 23. All the release note highlights mention is a new `erl_call` program.<p>Anyone know about the status &#x2F; rational for the `erl_interface.h` API?<p>1: 1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;elcritch&#x2F;einode&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;elcritch&#x2F;einode&#x2F;</a> 2: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;elcritch&#x2F;einode&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;tests&#x2F;c-nodes-example" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;elcritch&#x2F;einode&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;tests&#x2F;c-nodes...</a>

&gt; Support for SSL 3.0 is completely removed.<p>Yay! We need to actively and in a strong forceful manner remove broken security products.

Though I am not working with Erlang or Elixir right now I am so pleased that this is seeing improvements. I had as much fun learning Elixir as I did learning Ruby ages ago. It&#x27;s just a fun language with great construct!

The use of prior matches in guards is super useful for parsing TLV style payloads where you first match on a size&#x2F;length field and then match on the value itself as that number of octets. Does anyone have any insight into how &#x2F; when similar support will make its way into Elixir?

I would love it so much that someone took the time to correctly evaluate the pros and cons of OTP vs the current stacks we see those days (stateless services deployed and configured with kubernetes, with an event-bus backbone for service 2 service communication).<p>I&#x27;ve always wanted to try OTP for a real world project (simply because it looks more elegant and has less parts), and now may be the time, but i&#x27;m so scared of discovering huge pitfalls down the road that are better solved by more recent techs..

A few random questions.. hopefully a person more knowledgable in the topic can help me out:<p>- from what I understand Akka (Scala) heavily borrows from Erlang&#x2F;OTP - is this correct? What would be the biggest similarities&#x2F;differences?<p>- to what extent OTP is unique to Erlang and to what extent it can be implemented in another language?<p>- any articles&#x2F;materials out there showing the most valuable bits of OTP applied in JavaScript&#x2F;NodeJS?

I must admit, I have been watching erlang for a while trying to decide when to hop in, and I have increasingly come to the conclusion that I will not be learning erlang as such, although I will be buying the books and reading them, but I will be learning gleam, which is erlang with types.<p>I&#x27;m too used to the safety that rust or F# gives at compile time to give that up.

Nice to see default TLS 1.3 support. Though it looks like the use_srtp extension for DTLS is still being worked on.

Does cloud-based serverless computing compete with or complement Erland&#x2F;Elixir? As a dotNetCore developer who writes a lot of Lambda and Azure function code I am trying to understand how OTP relates to these paradigms or if they are apples and oranges.

Breaks all of our Erlang bindings (which use erl_interface) ...
