I don't know whom to contact about it, but planet Erlang is really
often down. For a few days now I got something like "memory exhausted"


Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 13 bytes) in
/opt/data/planeterlang.org/pligg/class.template.php on line 594

I for my part see it as bad supposed for a system programming language
for 24/7 mode....

Many web maintainers in the Erlang community would indeed like to
migrate their web sites to Erlang, but it's not always easy to
find a hosting provider that supports this, and the idea of
having to roll your own virtual image and bootstrap everything
from scratch may seem daunting. Also, there haven't been good
template languages to come by. Now there are a few:

ErlyWeb (http://erlyweb.org/)
sgte (A string template implementation, http://code.google.com/p/sgte/)
Erlang-web (http://www.erlang-web.org/)

There is a (growing) number of erlang-based web sites around:

http://theschemeway.blogspot.com/2006/12/110-yaws-powered-web-sites.html
http://survey.netcraft.com/Reports/200708/byserver/index.html

Not to say that the uptake is impressive by web standards, but at
least it's growing. (:

I was quite aware it's PHP, but the page is about Erlang and Erlangs
programs are supposed to run 24/7 so I'd argue a webpage about Erlang
should not be that flaky, even if it's written or uses PHP. Or does
one like to show why one should not use PHP for Web programming ;-)

I'M sorry but getting access to a route server is not exactly brain
surgery...., and using something less flaky can be done with PHP
driven sites also.

Well I'd argue a collector about Erlang should probably show even that
much committement, otherwise why should one stress the 24/7 and
hot-fix facilities from Erlang...
