Why not both? I want the language to provide an iterable/enumerable interface with the usual generic workhorses (map, reduce, etc.) and allow me to implement that interface as a fr…

Very satisfied with Elixir! I think it just fits my way of thinking. I love the terse, but explicit code, the VM, OTP, pattern matching, working with immutable data, integrated too…

Oh, wow. The language was complex already and this makes me avoid C++ unless it's constrained to a narrow subset (something like Google C++ Style Guide). No wonder languages like G…

Erlang's VM comes to mind. It has great APIs for inspecting a running system and quite a few options for consuming that data: build-in observer [0], CLI version [1], web live dashb…

...or pattern matching in case of dynamically-typed languages: case some_operation() do {:ok, result} -> # do something with result {:error, error} -> # handle the error end

I started to write the engine for my favourite game in my favourite programming language and the experience was addictive and enjoyable beyond compare. Sadly I just couldn't justif…

I'm categorical only in terms of my personal preferences. Threading model is just hard, so in general, I'd suggest looking for alternatives. But that's not a universal advice as th…

A much better suggestion would be to look for a language/VM that supports a better concurrency primitives, like Elixir/Erlang. Obviously you can't run that everywhere, so sometimes…

Quite surprising take on the languages. > When to use Python or Ruby > Python and Ruby seem to me to be pretty similar in that they’re scripting languages and dynamically typed and…

Well, you can't make everyone happy. Personally, I've started with the C family of languages (C, C++, C#, bit of Java), but after going through Python, Ruby and Elixir I never want…

Last year I did "Advent of Elixir" at my company with the puzzles from AoC. It was slow paced but I got some people excited about Elixir! I also followed José Valim on Twitch to se…

Somebody in our team put this on production. I guess this solution has some merits if you need something quick, but in the long run it turned out to be painful. It's basically SQL …

I'd love to see this implemented, especially that I already enjoy this feature a lot in Elixir/Erlang/BEAM.

I'd add one thing: avoid multiple classes on a single element; use mixins to avoid duplication. I tend to do so even for classes that have some toggle state, i.e. .some-class-activ…

Thanks! Uninstalled straight away. I think the TOS issue is more important than the security one.

The job offers are not that often, so I guess you've beat everybody, myself included, with production experience.

Congrats on the new release! While this is all great news, it's still quite hard to get a full-time Elixir job outside of US. Kind of like staring at the candy shop display while i…
