Description

oubiwann's avatar @oubiwann reported
Trac ID trac#5569
Type enhancement
Created 2012-03-26 00:13:26Z

Thomas' work on twotp would be a general asset to Twisted users, providing interoperation with Erlang code/projects. Erlang is well-established as a standard tool in the world of concurrent programming, so this seems less of a risk than it might have been 4 years ago.

What's more, ticket #5565 could greatly benefit from this work, making our lives easier in the process.

What would it take to make this happen?
