Erlang and code style
Musings on mostly defensive programming stylesCorrect Erlang usage mandates you do not write any kind of defensive code. This is called intentional programming. You write code for the intentional control flow path which you expect the code to take. And you don’t write any code for the paths which you think are not possible. Furthermore, you don’t write code for data flow which was not the intention of the program. It is an effect, silly If an Erlang program goes wrong, it crashes.Jesper L. Andersen8 min read
