That "saying" was never good. It's just an extremely simplistic way for right wingers to pat themselves on the back.

Phoenix is much more straightforward and explicit but macros are used a lot in both Phoenix and the Elixir standard library. I think most of the macros are fine but opinions vary w…

I've used both and honestly it probably wouldn't change much. Unless you're building an application that deals with tons of persistent connections and websockets there aren't reall…

I'd normally also have to select packages for sending emails, running background jobs, internationalization, templates, validation, file uploads and caching at a bare minimum. Then…

I don't use Java much but out of the languages you named none of them are better at much and with the exception of C# all of them have far, far worse tooling. Go is hardly a "moder…

I dropped Spotify completely because of the ridiculous energy use.

That doesn't mean much considering you don't know what the application needs to do on each request.

Erlang/Elixir is much, much faster than either Python or Ruby especially when it comes to workloads like your typical web app. In the Techempower benchmarks the Phoenix tests had a…

Most of those are optional libraries and rails does a hell of a lot more than a base install of PHP. PHP is also only "simple" if you ignore the god awful language semantics and in…

Yes you have. Jersey, Jackson and almost every Java database abstraction that's higher than JDBC uses one if not both. Dropwizard is one of the better Java libraries in this regard…

Yes. Most of the unnecessary complexity has just been moved from bad APIs with XML configuration to bad APIs with runtime scoped annotations, code generation and byte code manipula…

The video service almost always works. The website has issues pretty regularly.

The Phoenix tests had a ton of errors and there was no preview run so whoever submitted them wasn't able to fix them. This has happened with a bunch of different languages/framewor…

> Erlang's CPU performance is not bad IME Erlang is very slow when it comes to CPU bound tasks. It's nowhere near Java for tasks like this.

There were problems with the benchmarks and nobody had time to fix them. This is usually the case when the benchmarks have high error rates and this has also happened in the past w…
