Dear Erlang-er,
After numerous tests and experiments with Erlang and other languages,
I have finally choosen this language as a basis for my business tools
developments.
So, in case your are interested, you should have a look at :
http://linuxfr.8304.ch/prj/borsalino/index.html
unfortunately, the text is only in french for the moment. There is an
english summary at:
http://linuxfr.8304.ch/prj/borsalino/summary.html
You can also find a Swedish version of the summary, written by a
friend of mine. This is a way to thank people at Ericsson for their
work on Erlang.
I hope Erlang will grow and spread quickly.

This is very nice to hear, I wish you the best of luck and
congratulate you to a wise language selection decision :-)
What about GUI for this type of business like apps. Is "etk"
(using tk 4.2) good enogh ???
I had a look at the swing GUI libs for java the other day
and I must say that that sort of GUI looks nice on screen but
absoulutley horrible in the source code. Gazzilion little
instantiations of unknown classes with unknown side effects ..
... arghhh.

I am interested in discussing the following GUI issue. It may not be
appropriate for the erlang-questions list. If you strongly feel this
should be, or should not be, a part of this mail list, privately
respond to me. I'll tally the results. We could have an "off line"
email discussion and then post a summary back to this list.

I think it is important to keep in mind the changing landscape of
office systems (as well as home systems, SOHO). Smaller client
systems, remote clients, ever-smaller "clients" that have the
capability of running as a "server", etc. I think it is important to
keep a clear separation between the business end and the input/output
end. That way, a client could be Tk, TCL/Tk, HTML 3.2, XML, Java, or
whatever.

I think it is important to be able to access a system from a Palm
Pilot-like device as well as from a conference room "whiteboard"-size
device. If a client does use Java/Swing/AWT I think it should be
possible to use a small set of bells and whistles.
Just one other person's opinion, but I concur. Large GUI gadget
applications can be a mess. They also tend not to be very easy to get
right across multiple platforms.
