I put this together because I found navigating the GraphQL ecosystem, with all its tools, to be confusing. I thought it'd be helpful, especially to newcomers, to see how the pieces…

The official tutorial[1] is the best place to start; it's guaranteed to be the most up-to-date resource. After that, I'm a big fan of egghead.io's courses. Most are paid, but I bel…

I use Python because: - it's a well designed language - it has a great ecosystem and community - it runs fast (enough for my purposes) - it looks enough like pseudo-code that trans…

> Should we make the switch now? You can, but until I see evidence that "We, the developers, will lose our jobs" any time soon, I'm going to continue doing what makes me happy, and…

The last time I wrote any ClojureScript was over a year and a half ago. I played around with Reagent a bit and remember really liking it. I never used it for any serious projects o…

Sure. I mentioned Elixir because I'm familiar with it, but not Erlang.

Elixir's concurrency primitives & actor system make some concurrent and parallel jobs much easier than I'm used to in other languages.

Django, mostly. I like its batteries included approach and its maturity. I've found it's a great tool for many jobs. Every now and then I'll use something smaller, like Flask or Fa…

I was very interested in Clojure and studied it for awhile. I liked it a lot, but had a difficult time becoming proficient with it. Part of it was the tooling (I tried learning Ema…

This is great. Thanks for creating and sharing. I've made sure to bookmark it.

Agreed. I'm working on an API where most of the endpoints are RESTful, but there's a handful where it makes total sense to break the rules in order to make everyone's lives easier.…

I'm primarily a backend developer with some front-end experience, and I want to really improve my front-end skillset. What resources would you recommend to get a good grasp on resp…

Great landing page! I love the screenshots with example conversations - it makes it crystal clear what to expect from the product.

Good question, I'm interested in hearing other people's suggestions. I don't use go, but I've worked with websockets in Elixir + Phoenix, and one thing that's been really helpful i…

Sure they can. You can use server side languages like Clojure, Erlang, Elixir, F# and a few others I'm sure I'm missing. There also exist libraries for some languages that introduc…

Thanks for sharing. First my complaint: the slides are really annoying :) A traditional left-right stack would've been nicer. That said, this is something I've been looking at late…

Awesome - looks like a really easy and quick way to get started. I'll be trying this out this weekend. And good job on the video - you got right to the point :)

There are a bunch of factors in play here, but I'd guess that the reasons are mainly two-fold: a) developers like shiny new things (myself included) and b) Angular and React offer …

You may want to check out Clojure and ClojureScript. Both are functional languages that let you build the backend and front-end for web apps in a functional style. I personally lik…

Can you please elaborate?

I'm interested in more than just the use cases (although still curious to hear why someone chose Elixir, whether it be for the language, BEAM, or whatever.) I'm looking for stories…

I'd love to read about people's real life uses of Elixir, whether it be for their jobs or side projects.

I want to +1 the "makes for simpler code." I'm working on a side project in my free time on nights and weekends. I find the simplicity of React makes it very easy to jump back in a…

I'm a big fan of Clojure and React, but haven't used Clojurescript or Reagent. I find React pretty easy to grok so I'd be interested in how you think Reagent makes it easier to use…
