Too much Erlang

23 November 2012

You know you had enough Erlang once your C code starts looking like this:

#define TUPLE_U8U8(a,b) \
    (u16) (((u8)(a) << 8) | ((u8)(b) & 0xFF))

    ...
    switch (TUPLE_U8U8(sc->registered, req->type)) {
    case TUPLE_U8U8(0, MSG_REGISTER):
        ...
        break;
    case TUPLE_U8U8(1, MSG_WAIT):
        ...
        break;
    case TUPLE_U8U8(1, MSG_UNREGISTER):
        ...
        break;
    default:
        FATAL();
    }
    ...
