Why bet365 (with 22m customers) use Elixir and Erlang
##go, Erlang, Elixir; what’s in a programming language anyway?
bet365 has more than 22m customers, making it the world’s largest online gambling company, with reports suggesting that up to three-quarters of its £1.5bn revenues come from international markets. Extreme scalability, concurrency, and reliability is a must to keep bet365’s engines turning. bet365 lives by the mantra the right tool for the job, and runs a mix of Erlang, Elixir, and Go in production.
When you pit Go’s requests per seconds against the likes of Ruby on Rails or Django, Go returns some impressive benchmarks performing three times better. Go can scale to hundreds of thousands with relative ease, in much the same way that Erlang and Elixir scale to millions.

I really wish they’d post more numbers.

Definitely…
It would be really great to have some real facts, tests and numbers…

As much as I like Erlang and Elixir my experience regarding Go’s performance is just the opposite.
I totally agree that it would be nice to have facts to support this statement.

As much I’d like to use GO it was great disappointment for me. Not the performance wise but rather semanticaly; it’s too damn imperative
AstonJ
Not sure if it’s related…

Ben Frain is the author of Enduring CSS (eCSS).

Once he moves the css and js into a single file he’ll have vue single file components

Combining JS and HTML is one thing - keeping the authoring CSS separate probably allows greater freedom when it comes to tooling. And depending on the circumstances you may need two separate CSS files per component - structure and skin (e.g. if the site/application likes to adjust the look with seasons relevant to the business).

I was just pointing out that they have the same concerns and seemed to have reached similar conclusions on how to solve that - I was not saying that it would be the right choice to use another 3rd party system with a bunch of dependencies instead of using plain css/js/html

Why does it say:
They haven’t acquired Erlang as far as I know
