I'm looking to collect information on why certain functionality found in Erlang/OTP is usually handled instead by a third party library in people's projects.
This could be bugs, missing functionality, poor interface, performance, etc.
Examples off the top of my head that need expanding on are:
- httpc
- httpd
- http_uri
- reltool
Please comment on this gist with libs and reasons, even if you aren't sure they are accurate or still accurate today.
The 3 functions:
unicode:to_lower/1
unicode:to_upper/1
unicode:to_title/1
are very basic functionality and are missing from Erlang/OTP. They should be like the implementation in https://github.com/rambocoder/unistring but automatically generated from unicode data to make it maintainable.
