Honestly, most of them were great. Probably the most captivating one was Ben Tyler's fun exercise in using Riak Core to build a stateful, distributed, fault-tolerant, real-time, im…

I agree. Setting up mirrors would probably be a better fit for this kind of content, but mirrors would be susceptible to the same dangers that the primary website may face: forced …

Have there been attempts at dispersing the whole collection of papers through torrents or IPFS? The goal here is not to have a central location with a pretty web page but to make t…

I tried to use the Chrome extension to read a Spanish website but it doesn't work unless I enable 3rd party cookies. That's quite rude. I cannot allow a single extension to comprom…

Elixir has first-class support for defining custom types and adding type annotations (specs) to functions. There's also a tool that makes it very easy to run dialyzer on your code:…

JavaScript has functions. The list pretty much ends there. There are some libraries that provide "functional features" like functions over collections, persistent data structures, …

Erlang/OTP is being developed continuously, primarily by a team at Ericsson. They ship one new major release roughly once per year, with a few minor releases in-between.

First question in the Q & A here sheds light on the authors motivation for creating Wren: http://munificent.github.io/wren/qa.html#why-did-you-create-...

Just a small note: Go has also abandoned segmented stacks. They were a placeholder until Go got precise GC which enabled it to use contiguous stacks with pointer rewriting. Here's …

Open source community.

Instead of the animation speed setting it should have a slider (like, for instance, here http://debug.elm-lang.org/edit/Mario.elm ). Otherwise, it's more like a nice animation than…

Erlang knowledge is not a requirement to start learning Elixir. You will end up learning about Erlang programming model anyway because Elixir builds on top of it. By "programming m…

Where is the promised "synchronous syntax"? The first example show an ordinary async call with a callback.

This list says little about Rails' productivity benefits without also stating how much is hidden behind it (in terms of queues, caches, async workers, etc.) to let those services h…

I realize now it sounds as if Erlang got something wrong and Elixir got it right instead. That's not what I wanted to say. Elixir semantics is very close to Erlang's, but it also h…

I wasn't implying anything beyond the quoted phrase. My last remark was targeted at anyone reading the comment, I didn't mean to sound condescending towards you. I don't share your…

> We should avoid making Elixir a Ruby-on-Erlang when it has the potential to be so much more. Elixir is fool-proof from turning it into a "Ruby on Erlang" simply because it embrac…

'wc -l' counts the number of lines. It also supports '-c' and '-b'. To work with input split into columns, use awk. By default, it assumes the columns are separated with spaces. Th…

A lot of the designs on that page would look better if they covered the logo.

The differences are more than just in syntax. Elixir is also a standard lib that many enjoy, out-of-the box tooling (even Erlang folks have praised mix, the project manager for Eli…

I don't understand what you are asking here. The example at the beginning of the "Distribution" section shows how to get the value from the door in room1 while running on the node …

"Some concurrency" and Erlang-style concurrency are a thousand miles apart. Read this www.erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf. No matter which language you are using, thi…
