Does Netsuite use Akka?
s
Are you asking if they use https://akka.io/ ?
m
Yes, for any part of the system making up Netsuite
s
I honestly don't know. Though I would be a bit surprised as they seem to be a more traditional Java design. Curious what makes you ask? (I loved Akka when I used it a few years ago)

I'm a huge Erlang/Elixir fan and had just heard that someone had tried reimplementing the OTP libraries of Erlang into Java. It isn't perfect, but it was given mention in a talk I was listening to on Erlang.
I know that Netsuite is largely a Java app and was kind of excited to hear if they're using any amount of OTP.

Aye, Scala + Akka was a big thing
not sure how much it is used from Java, even though it supports it IIRC
