> Did I say otherwise?

Yes you did, you said "It's let me down". I just assumed t was something more serious like major design flaw, or periodic segfaults in the runtime, and not "bugs go in the mailing list" vs "no Github issues".

And they will. Throw in a couple of millions their way in there and they'll take a few engineers off from building their product and you might get a delicious cake.

It is not but they are the ones who pay their developers to work on this and they have a bug mailing list. You can still issue pull requests if you want. There are plenty here:

https://github.com/erlang/otp/pulls

File the bug, submit a patch and discuss there. Some pull requests have 20+ comments.

> there are regular bug fixes, pull requests, frequent releases. New features added (like maps).

Yes, and? And it is not exactly a "throw over the wall. It is like getting a free car from someone but complaining that the seats are the wrong color.And the car has now failed you.

> Where do I go to see the status of, I don't know, native processes?

Ask on the mailing list. Comment on the pull request or go on #erlang on IRC.

> Lastly, I'd ask you to consider what your response has done to improve and grow the Erlang community.

But what has your response done to hurt it? Here someone shared a cool project, and someone else commented how cool it is. And you are complaining that it is a "throw over the all" and it is a failure because they didn't set up Github issues properly. If you are going to spread fud then, well, be prepared to get nasty comments back.



Wow. What a mountain from a molehill. Your response has so little to do with what I've actually said that I can't see any useful way of responding. Good day.
