💬 We talked with Erlang experts Robert Virding and Bjarne Däcker and realized that there's no official anniversary for this amazing programming language! So we want to create one together! Over the next two weeks, we'll share significant dates from Erlang's history and invite you to contribute any important dates you think we should consider.
📊 Then, on July 1st, we'll hold a vote on our social media platforms (X and LinkedIn) to select the final date. The winning date will be announced on July 3rd!
