<div class="gmail_quote">Hi!<br><br>I myself have bumbed into performance problems with heavy-weight languages like python and javascript, and the recommendation was to use lua because it is the simplest and most lightweight. I have not yet given lua a shot, but I have no reason to doubt the recommendation.<br>
<br>If I read Brians answer to me a while ago correctly, a big reason for the performance problems is thread contention. If so, lua will reach it's limits a little bit above python and javascript's level, but will not truly scale either.<br>
<br>Erlang was specifically designed to run ericsson's switches. It is immune to the kind of thread contention issues mentioned above and I think it would scale much better than any other procedural language.<br><br>
What do you think?<br><font color="#888888">
