This isn't a critic of erlyweb, but rather a laundry list of things that I need to be able to "easily" do in order to port my app from Rails to erlyweb.
1 - full text search. I have some recent experience with Sphinx http://www.sphinxsearch.com/. Sphinx is a good match for erlang since it runs as a nice stand-alone daemon and doesn't require the weight of installing a Java system like Lucene requires. Rails has good plug- ins and tutorials for using Sphinx. Erlang / erlyweb has nothing. 2 - PayPal or Amazon or Google Payment. An erlang library for _any_ payment gateway is needed. 3 - Current tutorials. The API docs on erlyweb are ok, but we need real-world tutorials using the latest erlyweb. There are lots of little things, like good date and time pretty printing. Ruby does have tons of libraries. We need to identify the most needed ones for webapp dev. Anything I'm missing? I'm not trying to create an open ended rant...but if I am to port what I have in Rails to erlang, I need a few missing parts.
