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.
Roll your own protocol for moderately big messages instead of disterl.
