"Hey fellow devs, been thinking about building a super scalable crypto exchange and stumbled upon Erlang. From what I've researched, it seems like it's perfect for handling a high volume of concurrent requests and distributed systems, but is it really worth the complexity and learning curve? Has anyone had any experience with Erlang in crypto dev?"

"I've used Erlang in the past for a personal project and it's a beast when it comes to handling concurrency and distributed systems. For a crypto exchange, I'd say it's definitely worth considering, especially if you're planning for huge spikes in traffic. That said, I've heard it can be a real pain to set up and learn, so it's not for the faint of heart."
