Very interesting in any case, and I certainly voted for it - I'd love to see more articles like this.
Because of the nature of discussion groups on the internet, often people end up commenting if they want to disagree or nitpick. If there is an upvote feature, they just use that and often don't leave an "yap, agree" comment. I try to leave those when possible with additional things I like to balance the discussion out a bit. Otherwise things often end up negative by default (especially painful to see when someone shares a project they worked on).
Release 19.0 is looking exciting, other things they seem to be planning on (this is mainly from Erlang Factory 2016 Slides):
* 10x faster tracing
* Dirty schedulers turned on by default
* A new state machine OTP module
* An external plugin (with LevelDB as one example) for Mnesia storage
* 2x-3x faster spawning external processes + many others
18.0 brought fast maps, good time handling. It is exciting to see all this good stuff done in a 30 year old language.
Edit: Where is ErlangLLVM?
