Elixir brings mostly a new syntax, and little more. I rather use Gleam IF i really need to use the BEAM. Other than that, vanilla Erlang is THE way to go.

Ref counting IS a form of GC. It can be slow and have issues in high perf scenarios.

The MAGA crowd is gone and lost. There is little difference to other religious nutjobs, no matter is muslim or christian. Afaiac MAGA is just a the white/dumb/uneducated version of…

The madness continues. No one else is to blame other than the american zeros who made this hell to continue this long.

Its so, so depressing that 8/10 posts on HN is about AI.

Got confused, this was not about three six mafia (the rap group) but instead about money, dick size and tallness. Ill grab coffee next.

I wish nokia would have ultimately opted for their own android fork. That would have eventually lead to a more open linux kind of OS, like we saw with maemo. Flop-Elon was the wors…

Sure, so "its all ok now" seems to be the goto here. Who knows other shady stuff they had done / are doing. A big wart on them, and the entire ocaml ecosystem.

Yes, the fraud was done in india. Why does that matter?

Im pretty sure it came from the MLs, where you usually have a/b/c instrad of the T,U etc combo. I dont find it confusing, as its pretty clear that it only an placeholder. In generi…

Once russian, always russian. You cant remove the ruski once its rooted.

Em dashes = Stop reading immediately. Its 99.9% AI generated, and i wont be offering my time to that.

Well its a russian company, and took part in the solarwinds hack, that was directly funded by the fsb. So, yeah, it should ve scrutinized, nitpicked and avoided at all costs. Its 2…

Same for the jetbrains PHP based IDE (iirc named something in the likes of webstorm, or phpwind etc) is super slow and hogs ram like crazy. Also most devs using it have really, rel…

Never heard of fast ruby. My point is tokenizing is rarely a bottleneck, as 99% of time is spent in inference. So you speed up 1% of the pipeline by some factor, and the end result…

Is tokenizing really the bottleneck? If we go from 20ms to 15ms does it really matter?

But elixir brings nothing new, discord runs on the beam, so it could just as well be written in erlang.

Dont use discord, never have. It could be just as easily be built in vanilla. Its just a chat really. Nothing special.

Yes. It feel unergonomic and bolted on. I rather have a pure static type system, or a full dynamic language.

I tried it, and it brings little. It got new syntax, but syntax alone is not important. I can build with erlang, so why would i pick elixir? I used erlang for almost 20 years, and …

I guess elixir is a nice lang for the niche of erlang. But its dynamic (the "type system" is really meh at best) its not suited for real world use. If i go full dynamic, why not us…

Github is fine. I know it has issues, but for the day to day random OS gig it has never failed me.

There is also MLs that have the same idea, but with less implementation, as a lisp is something you hack in a weekend. An working ML not, as it takes way more effort. Lisps have ma…
