Actually, I'm not saying that. If you just want to evaluate a bunch of<br>
different message brokers, then no, I don't think you should take the<br>
gentoo approach to everything. Even in a university course about<br>
messaging, time is probably better spent not compiling Erlang. However,<br>
in such a educational situation, I would say that learning your way<br>
around toolchains is valuable. I would also hope that a course on<br>
messaging didn't require every student to compile their own version of<br>
Erlang and instead both Erlang and Rabbit would be provided on a<br>
lab-wide system install.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sadly that was not the case there. At least they could install Erlang while I was giving some other introductions so we didn't waste time on it, but yeah… some desks were warmer thanks to Erlang.</div>
