H̶a̶l̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶ 600M unsuspecting FreeBSD users
youtube.comI wouldn't say these are BSD users. If I am a windows user and connect to google's linux servers to search, does that make me a linux user?
Agreed. I think this title is a bit flippant and I'm sure the 600M+ WhatsApp users don't care what the servers are running.
The important takeway is that FreeBSD and Erlang have worked really well for WhatsApp allowing them to grow their userbase insanely fast while still staying relatively small.
