How about a nice cup of STFU about Erlang? Enough already...

Wishful thinking, but good luck.

The plethora Erlang articles is simply an effort to drive out the people that keep posting lame stories that have no place on hacker news and return to more technical stuff that we all want to read. If it means we don't have so many mainstream articles being posted here here then IMHO all Erlang all day is a small price to pay.

At the moment it's simply driving out any and all articles of interest.

Hacker News is effectively worthless at this point in time. I'm sure it'll recover, but it won't be thanks to spastics upvoting Erlang articles like they're going out of fashion.

There've been far, far more spurious Erlang stories on the front page than posts about _why - who, after all, is actually significant in the hacking community.

Yeah... I think it's probably time for an HN break

Look erlang might be a great language but we need more hakell articles! In fact what happened to prolog? I want the prolog articles as ways to bump stuff.

Someone should combine Erlang and _why in to one article, to rack up on the karma.

I tried, but I guess the attempt was too 'poignant'. Here's an idea for anyone else interested: the parallel lives of _why the lucky stiff expressed in Erlang.

I have no idea if this is some kind of joke going on or someone is hacking/trolling HN. Just too much Erlang for a day....
