[erlang-questions] Geographical distribution of Erlang programmers

[Zvi]

Hi,

I want to know the geographical distribution of Erlang programmers.
In other words: "If you going to open Erlang shop, where is the best place
to do it?".

Thanks in Advance,
Zvi

The office building across the street from my house. They have some
vacancies.

Seriously speaking, Sweden is probably your best bet :)

Even more seriously, why does it have to be in any specific place? Do
it remotely, over the internet.

This is far from answering the question, but i was curious. There are
about 430 members on the erlang-questions google group, 100 of which
have specified a location in their profile. List of the unique
locations here:

I didn't even know about the Google group. How does it differ from this
email list?

It's read-only.

Except if you are subscribed to erlang-questions proper with the same
e-mail address.

[Parnell Springmeyer]

That link provides an interesting view into the few number of USA based Erlang programmers subscribed to the list...

Anybody hiding out in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA ???

[Sargun Dhillon]

Erlang concentration would probably be higher where companies like
ERIC, Nortel, and other Erlang users are based. I know I'm stating the
obvious, but it answers your question...

I know there's a few of us in Salt Lake. That's close...

Here's my reply from the Google Group.

Will it make it through?

Hi,

The statistics from erlang.org for the last month regarding number of
visits and their geographic location shows the following in percent:
An interesting note is that China is increasing its percentage for each month.

US 24,60255624
Sweden 11,4947864
China 10,99083268
UK 4,930126154
Russia 3,610563135
Germany 3,323773685
Canada 3,148052981
Japan 2,876183214
France 2,834739652
India 2,615917643
All Others 29,57246821

I thought it'd be interesting to see how the countries in your list rank per capita. Using Sweden as the unit, here are the weighed measures...

Sweden     11,49   1,0000
Canada      3,15   0,0746
US         24,60   0,0637
UK          4,93   0,0637
France      2,83   0,0348
Germany     3,32   0,0317
Russia      3,61   0,0202
Japan       2,88   0,0178
China      10,99   0,0065
India       2,62   0,0018
All Others 29,57   0,0068

On the other hand I'm pretty sure that most Ericsson employees are
counted in the Sweden line even though they may be located thousands of
miles from Sweden (they are going out through the same proxy), so I
don't know how useful is this statistics...

Bye,NAR
